Teen Admits Murdering His Girlfriend’s Parents
From Times Wire Reports
A 19-year-old man pleaded guilty to murdering his 14-year-old girlfriend’s parents in a deal that spared him from the death penalty.
David G. Ludwig, 19, was sentenced in Lancaster to life in prison without parole for shooting Michael F. and Cathryn L. Borden inside their Lititz home in November after they demanded that he break off his relationship with their daughter, Kara.
Ludwig and Kara had tried to keep their relationship secret from her parents, who were displeased with their age difference. Investigators said the Bordens confronted Ludwig after discovering he and Kara had been out all night. Investigators concluded that Kara, who ran off with Ludwig after the shootings, played no role in the killings, and she was not charged.
