REDMOND, Ore. — Two Redmond teenagers have pleaded guilty in connection to their plot to kill one’s mother, then burn down her house.
KTVZ-TV reports that a 17-year-old boy pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, while a girl, also 17, pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon and second-degree attempted assault.
Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel says the teens planned to kill one of their mothers, then burn down her house with the body left inside. He says the boy on May 19 sprayed his mother with pepper spray and then struck her with a baseball bat.
The victim was able to wrest the bat away from her son and call 911.
The son has been sentenced to 70 months of incarceration and the girl was sentenced to 20 months.
