Man convicted of aggravated murder, arson in Belmont County couple’s deaths

An Oklahoma man was found guilty of aggravated murder in the 2021 killings of a Belmont County couple. Andrew Griffin, 34, was convicted of two counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated arson on Nov. 3, following a seven-day jury trial in Belmont County Common Pleas Court. “(The) verdicts hold a cold-blooded killer accountable,” Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson said in a press release. “I’m grateful to the investigators, prosecutors and jurors who helped secure justice for the victims and their loved ones. Prosecutors alleged that Griffin fatally shot Thomas and Angela Strussion in their Belmont home on Sept. 21, 2021, before setting the house on fire. Griffin and Thomas Strussion had been business partners in the restaurant industry before Griffin was forced out of the partnership, the release stated. Griffin’s sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 1 in Belmont County Common Pleas Court. The Belmont County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case with help from the FBI and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The Belmont County Prosecutor’s Office prosecuted it with assistance from the Ohio Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Section.
