DOVER, N.H. - New Hampshire prosecutors say one of three men charged with stabbing an 18-year-old to death has pleaded guilty.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said Thursday that 19-year-old Zachary Pinette admitted going to Aaron Wilkinson's house in Madbury on June 21 with 19-year-old Tristan Wolusky and 22-year-old Michael Tatum to steal money and drugs.
Prosecutors say the three stabbed Wilkinson to death with a machete and knife then dumped his body in Maine.
Pinette pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery and falsifying evidence. He faces 30 years to life in prison.
Tatum is due in court April 24.
Wolusky has pleaded not guilty to first- and second-degree murder and other charges. He's being held without bail and is scheduled for trial this summer. He faces life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder.
