Perry Hart pleaded guilty to murder charges, according to Butler County Common Pleas Court documents.

The charges are in connection to Asiah Slone’s death.

TRENDING STORIES:

Slone was reported missing in June.

A month late investigators found her remains in a trash can on Centennial Avenue in Middletown.

Last month, Brandon Davis, 46, was found guilty of aggravated murder in the shooting death of Slone.

After a five-day trial in which Hart testified against Davis, a jury found Davis guilty of all counts.

A judge will sentence Hart later this month.

He faces more than 30 years in prison.
