PROVO, Utah (AP) – A Utah mother accused of killing six of her newborn babies and storing their bodies in her garage pleaded guilty to murder Thursday.
Megan Huntsman, 39, faces up to life in prison on the charges. She will be sentenced April 20.
She pleaded guilty to six counts of murder while standing next to her attorney in court.
Prosecutors had called it a unique case in both its heinousness and in the number of victims.
The deaths sent shockwaves through the quiet, mostly Mormon community where Huntsman stored the tiny bodies for more than a decade.
