LANCASTER, Ohio (WCMH) -- Court documents revealed that a Columbus woman, who is among two charged in the murder of a Lancaster man, told police her boyfriend intended to kill the victim.

Holly McDaniel, 45, and John Scott, 44, appeared in Fairfield County municipal court Tuesday morning for their respective arraignment hearings after being arrested Saturday. Police said that Scott had done yard work for the victim, who has yet to be identified.

On Saturday evening, police were called to the 700 block of South Maple Street in Lancaster for a well-being check and found the victim's body nearby in a wooded area. Scott and McDaniel were arrested with court documents saying Scott admitted to shooting the victim and that McDaniel was brought to the scene to help move the body and cover it with brush.

McDaniel told police Scott had expressed intention to steal from and kill the victim prior to Friday. Scott has been charged with murder and received a $2 million cash surety bond and a $5,000 recognizance bond.

McDaniel, charged with abuse of a corpse, received the same recognizance bond but a $500,000 cash surety bond. Both are scheduled to appear in court again on Aug. 20.

Neighbors said the area around where the body was found was a quiet place, with children often outside playing, but normally nothing like the commotion they saw Saturday.
