Barbaric bloody deed in Oklahoma!

Lawrence Paul Anderson (44) has confessed to having brutally murdered three people - including a four-year-old girl and a woman whose heart he cut out!

The Oklahoma man had been released from prison less than a month earlier.

The 44-year-old has now been sentenced to life imprisonment. However, Anderson made a deal with the prosecutor's office: He admitted the murders in the Grady County District Court, and the prosecution waived the required initial death penalty. The families of the victims played an essential role in this. "They don't want a trial," prosecutor Jason Hicks said. "You don't want to sit in a courtroom and hear all the gory details."

Andrea Lynn Blankenship († 41) was stabbed. The perpetrator then cut out her heart.

Anderson broke into the house of his neighbor Andrea Lynn Blankenship († 41) in February 2021. There he killed the woman with a knife and removed her heart. Then, he drove the organ to his uncle Leon Pye († 67) and his aunt Delsie Pye (66), where he wanted to cook it and serve it with potatoes.

Leon Pye († 67) and little Kaeos Yates († 4) did not survive the knife attack either.

But there was a fight – and Anderson stabbed his uncle and granddaughter, Kaeos Yates († 4). The aunt survived severely injured.

The survivor testified at the judge's hearing that she was heartbroken that something like this could be done to family members. The murdered girl's mother cursed the accused and yelled, "Who kills a child? Who does such a thing?"

Anderson was released from prison shortly before the triple murder and was supposed to serve a 20-year sentence for various weapons and drug offenses. However, he was pardoned by Gov. Kevin Stitt, 50, on the state parole board's recommendation. Explosive: The junkie's name was accidentally on the list of parole candidates, as the investigation revealed.
