Oklahoma man pleads guilty to killing two Weleetka girls in 2008

[Old Fart]

OKEMAH (AP) — A man accused of killing two girls along a rural Oklahoma road, but who wasn’t arrested until after being questioned in his fiancee’s death three years later, has pleaded guilty in both cases.

Kevin Sweat pleaded guilty Thursday to three counts of first-degree murder. He’d been scheduled to go on trial Monday.

The mysterious deaths of 11-year-old Skyla Whitaker and 13-year-old Taylor Paschal-Placker went cold shortly after their bodies were found in 2008. The girls were fatally shot as they walked down a road near Weleetka.

Sweat wasn’t arrested in the case after being questioned in the 2011 death of his fiancie, Ashley Taylor.

Prosecutors had sought the death penalty against Sweat but dropped plans after he agreed to waive his right to a jury trial.

I hope he winds up as some big stripe's punch. Maybe three or four big stripes's punch.

I remember when this happened. There was not a clue, and people trying to help got down in there in the crime scene. The crime scene had not been sealed off, as I recall. Nobody ever thought this guy would be captured. Apparently he is a born killer, at least three murders under his belt. No telling how many more...

Needs a "short drop, sudden stop" kind of sentence.

He is going to have a bad time in prison.
