Court, Gavel

SMITHLAND, Ky. (AP) -- A western Kentucky man has admitted to fatally shooting three people in 2018.

Jackie Doom pleaded guilty to three counts of murder Wednesday during a virtual appearance in Livingston County Circuit Court, news outlets reported. He admitted to killing January Stone, Robert Belt Jr., and Johnny Mallory, who were found dead inside an apartment in Grand Rivers. Each had been shot multiple times.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors recommended a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 25 years.

Doom's attorney said his client shot the three because he believed they had sold drugs to his pregnant wife causing her to miscarry. Attorney Don Thomas said Doom's plea showed his willingness to accept responsibility for his actions.

Doom's sentencing was set for Sept. 16.
