NEW LONDON Nearly two years after signing a plea agreement with the state, 26-year-old Ruth Correa on Thursday stood in front of a New London Superior Court judge and pleaded guilty to three counts of felony murder in connection with the brutal 2017 deaths of members of a Griswold family.
As part of the agreement, signed in August, 2019, Correa will testify against her stepbrother, Sergio Correa, during his coming trial in exchange for a flat 40-year sentence. If Ruth Correa opted to take her case to trial, she faced a maximum sentence of 180 years, if convicted.
Ruth Correa’s pleas were not unexpected the terms of her plea agreement were mentioned during her sibling’s 2019 probable cause hearing. During that proceeding, Ruth Correa spent hours on the stand largely blaming her brother for the murders of Matthew, Janet and Kenneth Lindquist on Dec. 20, 2017.
Her brother, Sergio Correa, 29, has also been charged with the killings. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in 2018.
Ruth Correa agreed to testify at her brother s trial as part of the plea agreement, according to the court clerk.
After her arrest, Ruth Correa told police she and her brother committed the slayings and said they were in on a plot with Matthew Lindquist to steal guns from his parents home and make it look like a robbery, according to court documents.
She said Sergio Correa stabbed Matthew Lindquist several times and then guided her hand to stab him as well after the plan fell apart, the court documents stated.
