Donald McLaughlin, 34, of 718 Magnolia St., pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the Aug. 23, 2011, deaths of Christopher Michael Plush, 30, and Anna Stack Truelove, 21.
Firefighters putting out a car fire behind Warren Williams School found the bodies of Plush and Truelove inside. They had both been shot, police said.
In 2005, McLaughlin was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a separate case after originally being charged with first-degree murder and wound up serving only six months in prison, court records state.
