Sebastian Wedding of Lake County apologized Monday, saying he's “sorry for everything that happened,” before learning his punishment in Newton Superior Court in Kentland. The Post-Tribune reported he agreed to plead guilty to two counts of murder.
In exchange, he avoids a possible sentence of life without parole.
Wedding's co-defendant, 25-year-old Derrick Cardosi of Sumava Resorts, is scheduled for trial in January on charges including murder.
The bodies of 20-year-old Justin L. Babbs, 23-year-old Richard Thomas and 39-year-old Kimberly Spears were found stabbed multiple times Aug. 28 in a home in Sumava Resorts, an unincorporated community about 35 miles south of Gary.
