A 55-year-old man has confessed to killing his daughter’s boyfriend before he allegedly married her himself.
He has been charged with first-degree murder.
On Monday, theDaily Telegraphobtained a page from the letter that read: “I just want it over. NO TRIAL. NO TAXPAYERS MONEY SPENT FOR A TRIAL. It is hard for the state of WV to fight against itself because I plead guilty/no contest. Thank you for your time on this matter.”
It was then signed, “Larry Paul McClure Sr.”
His two daughters, Amanda Michelle Naylor McClure, 31, and Anna Marie Choudhary, 32, were also reportedly charged with first-degree murder in connection to McGuire’s death, both outlets reported.
Amanda had been dating McGuire at the time of his death.
According to West Virginia State Police Trooper K.M. Saddler, who testified at a preliminary hearing for Choudhary on Nov. 5, the victim was strangled.
“On or about February 14, Mr. John McGuire was struck in the head with a bottle of wine, then tied up, and then injected with two vials of methamphetamine,” Saddler testified, theDaily Telegraphreported. “After the injection, he was strangled.”
The West Virginia State Police did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The pair allegedly drove to neighboring Virginia three and a half weeks after the murder and obtained a marriage license. Marriage between a father and daughter is illegal in Virginia.
Emily Miller, a McDowell County Prosecuting Attorney, told WVNS that they have held three preliminary hearings for all three defendants, and that they are now waiting for the grand jury presentment.
It was not immediately clear if the defendants had entered pleas to any of the charges against them or if they had obtained attorneys to comment on their behalf.
