Police in Middleton, Ohio discovered a bowl containing human fingers and patches of tattooed skin while searching the home of William Slaton, who's been formally charged in the death of Cecily Cornett.

An Ohio man accused of cutting off a woman’s fingers and tattoos and keeping her nude body in a barrel was indicted Wednesday on a murder charge.

William Slaton, 35, was arrested in late June after a caller tipped off police about a dead body allegedly being kept at the man’s home, according to a press release by the Middletown, Ohio Police Department.

Cecily Cornett, 21, had met Slaton online while Slaton was trying to arrange a threesome, Middletown Det. Ken Mynhier testified in court, according to Ohio outlet WKRC. Slaton told investigators he woke up one morning after using drugs to find Cornett's hanged body in his basement, Mynhier testified. Slaton allegedly confessed to then using a cigar cutter to slice off all ten of the woman's fingers and a razor blade to remove two or three of her tattoos, Mynhier said.

Slaton also allegedly confessed to keeping the woman’s body in his basement for several days before stuffing it into a metal drum, according to court documents obtained by Ohio station WLWT.
