Description
On a change of venue from Nodaway County, a jury in the Platte County Circuit Court found Benedict Kemper guilty on four counts of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on each conviction. He appeals from such sentence and judgment. On October 11, 1972, the bodies of Marion Merrigan and Kathleen Merrigan, husband and wife, and of their children, William and Helen Merrigan, were found in their home near Conception, Missouri. All had died of gunshot wounds from a .22 caliber rifle. The attention of law enforcement officers focused on Benedict Kemper. Shortly after 1:00 A.M., a member of the State Highway Patrol, the Nodaway County Sheriff and the Nodaway County Juvenile Officer went to Kemper's residence, located about 1/4 mile from the Merrigan house. After approximately 30 minutes of questioning, Kemper admitted that he had gone to the Merrigan home at around 11:00 P.M., October 10, 1972, and waited in the brush until the light went out. Then he entered the house, went to a first floor bedroom where he shot Mr. and Mrs. Merrigan with a .22 caliber rifle, and then ran up a stairway and shot Billy Merrigan and Helen Merrigan.
