(KMZA)--The second of two men charged in connection with the death of an elderly Vermillion man in early 2020 has entered into a plea agreement.

19-year-old Jeremy Penix II, of Melvern, pleaded no contest October 27 in Marshall County District Court to a charge of first-degree murder in the death of 83-year-old Donald McLaughlin.

In addition, Penix pleaded no contest to charges of aggravated robbery and arson in the case.

In exchange for the plea, several additional counts against him were dismissed.

Sentencing was scheduled for December 7.

McLaughlin's body was found inside the ruins of his burned out home on January 24, 2020.

Co-defendant Jefferson Goad, of Waverly, pleaded guilty last month to a reduced charge of second-degree murder along with charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and arson.

He's scheduled to be sentenced December 14.
