Barrel woman had fingers and tatts hacked off

A MONSTER cut off a woman’s fingers and used a razor to remove her tattoos before stuffing her naked body in a barrel.

William Slaton, 35, was arrested when cops went to his home to check out a report that a woman was inside a barrel there.

When officers told Slaton why they were there, he went into his backyard in Middletown, Ohio, and tossed a barrel over a fence.

The body of 21- yearold Cecily Cornett, of Somerville, was found inside it.

Slaton told detectives he found Cornett’s body hanging in his basement after he used narcotics one morning.

He then hacked off her fingers and used a razor knife to cut out her tattoos.

Slaton ( above) is facing charges of gross abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and failure to report a crime or death.

Additional charges may be filed in the case, police said.
