Man pleads guilty in Boni law case
A Henderson newspaper reported that Christopher Luttrell pleaded guilty but mentally ill Friday to aggravated murder and other charges in the 2006 death of social service worker Boni Frederick.
The Gleaner said the plea means Luttrell, 24, of Henderson, would face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment without parole, avoiding the death penalty.
Frederick, 67, of Morganfield, was fatally beaten and stabbed in Henderson when she took an infant for what was to be a final home visit with the infant’s mother, Renee Terrell.
Prosecutors say Terrell and Luttrell stole jewelry off of Frederick’s body, kidnapped the baby and stole the woman’s car. They were found three days later after a nationwide manhunt.
Luttrell also pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery, kidnapping, theft over $300 and three counts of being a second-degree persistent felony offender.
His sentencing date is Aug. 25.
