A man serving time at the Lebanon Correctional Institution for two slayings is charged with killing his cellmate after the two argued over a dusty television. Twenty-six-year-old Daniel Hairston, of Cleveland, is to be arraigned this week in Warren County Common Pleas Court. He is charged with aggravated murder in the slaying of 32-year-old Ronald Rogers, of Columbus, on January Sixth. Hairston could face the death penalty if convicted. Acting Prosecutor Rachel Hutzel says the two had been cellmates for about two weeks and were not getting along. She says Rogers apparently got some dust on Hairston's television and he was upset about it. Hairston stabbed Rogers in the neck a few times with a homemade knife as the men were getting dressed early in the morning, leaving only minor wounds. She says Hairston used the crook of his arm to strangle Rogers, with asphyxiation the cause of death. |
