More than a decade after his wife and two young stepdaughters were found dead inside their Florida home, a man has admitted in court that he killed them.
Alberto Sierra, 42, pleaded guilty on Friday, Aug. 7, in a Miami-Dade County courtroom to multiple felony charges, including first-degree murder, burglary, kidnapping and abuse of a human corpse.
The case dates back to 2012, when Sierra initially told police that he stabbed his wife, 29-year-old Gladys Machado, and suffocated her two daughters, 8-year-old Julia Padron and 4-year-old Daniela Padron, according to CBS News.
The victims were discovered inside their home on Nov. 13, 2012, after a neighbor became concerned about a foul odor coming from the residence.
Prosecutors later said DNA evidence showed Sierra sexually assaulted the bodies of Machado and 8-year-old Julia after the killings, according to The Miami Herald.
Machado’s 6-year-old son was not harmed because he was staying with a relative at the time.
Sierra’s guilty pleas bring a major development in a case that has remained unresolved in court for more than 13 years.
A jury is now expected to decide later this month whether Sierra will spend the rest of his life in prison or be sentenced to death.
What a POS!! This is not a human being, not even an animal. Animals may well kill their own kind, but they do not sexually assault the bodies of their victims as this “Thing” apparently did. This is the reason we have a death penalty! Use it and quickly this POS has had 14 years already without consequences for his actions. If the Jury hands down the death penalty, it should be carried out as quickly as possible, not in another 14 years or longer. If he gets “Life”, No Parole & I sincerely hope he’s placed in General Population. Then someone should leak the full details of his actions to every “Lifer” in that place. If that should happen, any bets on his life expectancy?! The shorter the better in my estimation!!!
This maggot looks like the kind of weasel women would be attracted to.
