LANCASTER, PA (WHTM) – A city teenager has admitted to robbing and killing a Brownstown Elementary School teacher after breaking into her home.
Marcus Rutter, 17, pleaded guilty Monday in Lancaster County Court to first-degree murder for the December 2014 killing of Nicole Mathewson, according to District Attorney Craig Stedman’s office.
Rutter additionally pleaded guilty to conspiracy to first-degree murder, burglary, robbery, receiving stolen property, and access device fraud.
He will be sentenced on July 29.
A co-defendant, Thomas Moore, pleaded guilty in February. He is serving a sentence of life in prison plus 20 years.
