A Utah man on Friday admitted to shooting and killing a West Valley City worker in his driveway before lighting her body and truck on fire.
Kevin Wayne Billings pleaded guilty to first-degree felony aggravated murder, along with charges of aggravated arson, arson and aggravated cruelty to an animal. Several other charges, such as abuse of a dead body and possessing explosive parts, were dismissed as part of a plea deal.
He faces a maximum penalty of up to life in prison when he is sentenced May 6.
Billings had been mailed a “notice of violation” last July by code-enforcement officer Jill Robinson — papers that instructed him to improve his yard and to call city officials for a compliance inspection by Aug.
