A 27-year-old man in Ohio may spend the remainder of his days behind bars for brutally killing his 24-year-old girlfriend, beating her head in with a hammer, wrapping her body in plastic, and dumping her in a trash can at a local park named after an iconic fictional voice behind countless children’s stories.
A jury in Stark County on Friday found Sean Goe guilty on charges of murder, felonious assault, gross abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence in the slaying of Raychel Sheridan, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
Goe was also convicted on charges of burglary and grand theft when the property is a firearm or dangerous ordinance.
Immediately after the verdict was read, Goe’s mother could be seen keeling over as she screamed, “Oh my God! No way!” Goe himself had almost no reaction, per courtroom footage posted by Cleveland, Ohio, ABC affiliate WEWS.
