ASHLAND >> An Ohio home where two women were slain has been demolished.

The home in Ashland where 43-year-old Stacey Stanley and 29-year-old Elizabeth Griffith were found dead in 2016 was torn down Tuesday. The Mansfield News Journal reports that a crowd gathered to watch the demolition and some cheered as the house was knocked down.

The women’s bodies were discovered after a third woman called 911 and said she was being held captive.

The 41-year-old Grate had been squatting in the abandoned house at the time of the killings.

Authorities have said he is a suspect in at least two more slayings.
