A Minnesota man accused of killing two of his romantic partners, cutting them up, and dumping them in storage units, recently entered a new plea.
Joseph Jorgenson admitted guilt last Thursday for the murders of Manijeh “Mani” Starren and Fanta Xayavong, two missing women whose bodies were discovered in storage units in 2023. This information was reported by FOX 9.
He also pleaded guilty to two separate counts of second-degree intentional murder.
Joseph Jorgenson pleaded guilty on Thursday to killing missing women Manijeh “Mani” Starren and Fanta Xayavong.
Mani’s mother, Ricki Starren, expressed her grief after the court session, saying, “She’s our beautiful daughter. She had a heart of gold, and she was a really good mom. Yes, he is a monster. But I do feel bad for his family though.”
He is facing a total of 40 years in prison for both deaths, according to officials.
