WAMPSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - A 33-year-old man has pleaded guilty to strangling a woman with a computer cord while trying to rape her in her central New York home last summer.
Kevin Farley pleaded guilty Monday in Madison County Court to second-degree murder in the slaying of 32-year-old Tiffany Meeks of Oneida.
Prosecutors say Meeks, a mother of two, was a longtime acquaintance of Farley’s. Officials say he was high on crack cocaine when he killed Meeks in early August and stole her car, which he ditched in Syracuse.
Farley then carjacked a vehicle from a supermarket parking lot. He pleaded guilty to robbery in that case in Onondaga County.
Farley will be sentenced in June to 24 years in prison.
