A Bedford man has pleaded guilty to murdering a 14-year old, then putting her body in a dumpster.
Reoprts say that Jordin Roache, who was 16-years-old at the time, was sentenced to 10-years in prison Thursday.
In June 2017, Roache killed 14-year old Kaytlynn Cargill. The girl's body was later found in an Arlington landfill. She had been bludgeoned with a hammer and police said they found a hammer, with Cargill's blood on it, in Roache's possession.
On Thursday, family members of Cargill listened as Roache finally plead guilty to the charge of murder.
"On June 19, 2017, our lives changed forever," Cargill's mother, Trisha West, said Thursday during an allocution. "The defendant brutally beat my daughter, terrorized and tossed her away like trash – a fate no human deserves, and especially not Kaytlynn."
Roache, who is now 21-years-old, had been certified to stand trial as an adult.
