Turner pleads guilty to murder of Watertown mother and son

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) A 38-year-old man has pleaded guilty to murdering a mother and son inside their Watertown home in July, 2012.

The Republican-American of Waterbury reports Claude Turner entered his pleas Monday under the Alford Doctrine, acknowledging there was enough evidence to convict him.

He is expected to receive a life sentence for fatally stabbing 58-year-old Donna Bouffard and her 26-year-old son, Michale Perkins.

Turner and his wife were living in the home at the time in exchange for doing chores for Bouffard.

Turner has said he was on drugs at the time.

Judge Roland Fasano accepted a psychological report that found Turner competent to enter the plea.

In March, Turner said during a hearing that Jesus told him those in court would die for what they were doing to him.
