Jury selection begins Friday for an Ohio man accused in the gruesome killing of a woman found covered in burns and wailing in agony on the side of State Route 208 near Adamsville.  33-year-old Lafonse Dixon has pleaded not guilty to murder, kidnapping and arson in the killing of 29-year-old Celeste Fronsman of Canton.  On August 26th a driver found Fronsman on State Route 208.  She had been burned and had a strap around her neck.  She died two days later. Two women arrested with Dixson – Monica Washington and Katrina Culberson, both of Canton, have pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and agreed to testify against him to avoid the death penalty.
