A Letcher County man has pleaded guilty to murder in the 2023 deaths of a woman and
her unborn child.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Matt Butler says on Wednesday Lawrence Eugene Halcomb entered a guilty plea in the murder of Vanessa Halcomb and her unborn child.
At the time of her death, the Letcher County Coroner indicated she had been about four months pregnant.
Butler says Halcomb will be sentenced at a later date and if the plea agreement is accepted, he will serve 50 years in prison.
