Chris Watts pleads guilty to murders of pregnant wife and two young daughters, escapes death penalty
The plea deal was approved by Shanann's family after they made it clear to the district attorney that they did not want Watts to die like the way he ended the lives of his family
Chris Watts, the Colorado man accused of killing his pregnant wife and two young daughters, has pleaded guilty to the murders. Watts taking the plea deal from prosecutors on November 6 means that he will not be facing the death penalty for his crimes.
Thirty four-year-old Shanann Watts and the couples' two daughters - 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste - were found dead in August inside oil tanks in Weld County just days after Watts reported them missing and went on live TV begging for the "kidnappers" to bring his family home, the Daily Mail reported.
