A man connected in the murders of four women in Ohio is due to appear at a pre-trial hearing on Monday in Ashland.
Shawn Grate is charged in the deaths of two women whose bodies were found in a house that was thought to be vacant in Ashland.
He was arrested in September after another woman called police saying she was being held in the same house.
