Convicted Killer Pleads Guilty in 5 More Deaths
A man already sentenced to death in Kansas for the murders of three women pleaded guilty to killing five more.
John E. Robinson, 59, entered the plea in Cass County Circuit Court in Harrisonville, Mo.
In addition to the three women he was convicted of killing in Kansas, authorities in Missouri charged him with killing three women whose bludgeoned bodies were found stuffed in barrels in June 2000, and with killing two other women whose bodies have never been found.
Robinson pleaded guilty to all five of the Missouri killings, a spokeswoman for the Cass County prosecutor’s office said.
