A Kansas man who was forced to participate in the killing of his good friend to save his own life during a deadly violent rampage has pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder.
Shane Andrew Mays, 22, also pleaded guilty Thursday to aggravated battery in the March 2017 attack in a Topeka drug home.
Police said Matthew Leavitt, 19, Nicole Fisher, 38, and Luke Davis, 20, were strangled or smothered to death over an unproven rape allegation against Leavitt.
Four others previously entered pleas, including Joseph Krahn, who was sentenced to three life terms.
