Sentencing is delayed for murder defendant By MARK TODD - Staff Writer - mtodd@starbeacon.com Star Beacon JEFFERSON — The sentence for one of the defendants in the Cheyrone Kelley murder case will be handed down later this month, court officials said.
Tiffany West, 19, of Edinboro, Pa., was scheduled to hear her fate early Tuesday afternoon during a hearing before Ashtabula County Common Pleas Court Judge Ronald Vettel. That hearing has been postponed, at the request of the prosecutor’s office, until 9:30 a.m. June 20, a court spokeswoman said. West recently pleaded guilty to felony charges of obstructing justice and gross abuse of a corpse in connection with the death of the 31-year-old Kelley in early November. She faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine on the obstruction charge, and one year in prison and a $2,500 fine on the abuse charge. West is one of four people charged in connection with the gruesome slaying. Kelley was stabbed numerous times inside a Day Street building in Conneaut, police said. The body was dismembered in the building, then body parts were placed in weighted bags and dumped in and around a pond along Netcher Road in Denmark Township. The remains were discovered on Feb. 1. Drugs are believed to have been the motive for the killing, police have said. Also awaiting sentencing is Cary A. Dunford, 45, of Jefferson, who has pleaded guilty to obstructing justice. Dunford admitted giving his son, co-defendant Alan Dunford, 24, advice on where to hide Kelley’s body. Alan Dunford, charged with aggravated murder, will go to trial in September. The final defendant, Shawn Curtin, 24, of Conneaut, has been charged with obstructing justice and will be tried in October.
