ITAWAMBA, CO.Miss – (WCBI) An Itawamba County killer will spend his life in prison after pleading guilty to capital murder.

Jake Carpenter had professed his innocence since being arrested two days after the March 2011 killings of his next door neighbors. Mildred and Fred House were found stabbed to death inside their home.

Prosecutors say Carpenter took the couple’s vehicle and several personal items to a girlfriend’s house in Russellville, Alabama. That’s where Carpenter was arrested.

He was sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
