Man pleads guilty in murder of missing teens

ELKTON — A man accused of killing two teens who vanished from an Elkton neighborhood last summer is facing a 30-year prison term after accepting a plea deal — one in which some of the conditions will remain secret until his sentencing on Friday.

The defendant, Donald Ray Bennett, 31, of Elkton, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder Monday.

By way of his guilty pleas, Bennett admitted to “strangling and choking to death” Jesse Grant Veasey, Jr., 16, and Ricardo Eugene Levenberry, 19, after picking them up in Hollingsworth Manor in August 2014 to buy drugs from them — albeit 16 hours apart from each other, according to a statement of fact read aloud by Assistant State's Attorney Karl H. Fockler IV.

Now remember folks, acording to the Liberal Idiots, "All Lives Matter", so this man doesen't deserve to die.

30 years for two (2) separate murders? Guess he's getting reduced sentence for not using a gun?? No death penalty anymore.

Thanks, OweMalley!

The victims were heroin and crack cocaine dealers. Kind of hard to feel sorry for them. When someone engages in a high risk lifestyle they are going to die sooner rather than later. It's not an "if" it's a "when" and it's either going to be an overdose, health issues related to drug use or murder.
I also wonder how many people died due to these 2 victims and their drug dealing.

Huh? It is advised that you come back and explain exactly what this means but do so, when you have sobered up, do you understand.

Nope not this time 11:58. This is the exact reason and perfect example why we have to crack down severe and swiftly on illegals though. We have enough of our own homegrown violent evil criminals and don't need Mexico dropping theirs off in the northern border towns and them then breaching the border and coming here and murdering and raping and committing other violent crimes like they tend to do.
Liberals don't care though. All they care about are the immigrant votes. Women and children getting raped, sodomized and brutally murdered by an illegal is collateral damage to the liberals and perfectly okay to them.

Bingo! Two murderers murdered. Who cares. This guy needs to be turned loose in Salisbury.
