Accused Killer Calls Victims’ Lifestyle Sick
A man accused of killing two Oregon women says the slayings had nothing to do with his victims being lesbians, although he believed their lifestyle was “sick.”
“I don’t care for lesbians. . . . I couldn’t help but think that she’s 54 years old and had been dating that woman for 12 years; isn’t that sick?” Robert James Acremant, who has admitted killing the pair, said in Sunday’s San Francisco Examiner.
He has said he knew Roxanne Ellis, 54, and Michelle Abdill, 42, were lesbians before he shot them Dec. 4 in Medford, Ore., and left the bodies in the back of Ellis’ pickup truck.
Acremant said he killed the women because he was frustrated at not being rich. He also admits shooting a friend to death in October.
