Pakistani-born Dr Ali Salim, 44, is accused of murdering pregnant Deanna Ballman and her unborn baby last summer
:shocked::shocked:
Mother-of-two was found dead in her car on August 1 after man allegedly gave her a lethal heroin injection
Family says Ballman answered an ad for housecleaning, but reports suggest she agreed to model for the amateur photographer
Salim is expected to be released on $1 million bail and be under house arrest until May trial
An Ohio doctor allegedly obsessed with photographing young women has been charged with raping and killing a pregnant 23-year-old after she responded to an ad on Craigslist.
Pakistani-born Dr Ali Salim is accused of murdering Deanna Ballman, of Pataskala, and her unborn baby last summer by injecting her with a lethal dose of heroin and then doing 'inhumane' things to her corpse.
Ballman, who was nine-months pregnant and had two kids at home, was found dead in the backseat of her car in woods outside of New Albany on August 1.
Salim, 44, pleaded not guilty today to two counts of murder as well as rape, felonious assault, corrupting another with drugs, kidnapping, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. He is expected to be released on $1 million bail as soon as Friday.
According to Ballman's family, the woman was responding to a housecleaning ad and called to say she wasn't feeling well, which was the last they heard of her.
However, reports suggest she may have met with Salim after he put a call out for models.
Salim has been at the center of the investigation into Ballman's death for months, with 10TV reporting in September that investigators had searched the doctor's Ohio home and removed a laptop, camera and other items.
