CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – A former nursing assistant who confessed to using insulin to murder seven elderly patients at a VA hospital will spend the rest of her life in prison.
During a hearing Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Thomas Kleeh called Reta Mays, 46, a monster of the worst kind. You are the monster no one sees coming. He delivered a life sentence for each murder victim, plus 20 years for an eighth victim she tried to kill.
Mays sobbed as Kleeh sentenced her. When a U.S. marshal approached her after the hearing, she sat down and buried her head in her hands, crying. She got up, and she was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom.

A Pound Virginia man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the death and abuse of his infant child in 2015, according to the Wise County Commonwealth’s Attorney.

As of Wednesday, Mullins remains in the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail at Duffield and will be transferred to the Virginia Department of Corrections.
