PIKE COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- The man who Kentucky State Police say killed a woman and buried her body in his yard says he didn't do it.
Bruce Dillon, 52, of Aflex, Ky., entered a not guilty plea Monday morning to charges of murder and abuse of a corpse.
Chief Assistant Pike County Attorney Tommy Chamberlin says cases like this are rare.
"A case of this magnitude is luckily not that common, but sadly occurs every so often in our rural county," Chamberlin said. "Obviously something of this magnitude we take with the utmost seriousness because, obviously anytime you're dealing with the loss of someone's life, as a prosecutor there's nothing more important than that."
Dillon is expected to be in court again Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
He is being held without bond at the Pike County Detention Center.
