Man pleads guilty to slaying
GEORGETOWN (AP) — A
flower salesman has pleaded guilty
and has been sentenced to 50 years
in prison for killing an Arkansas
woman he met in Austin.
Richard Patrick Barber, 25, was
sentenced after Tuesday’s guilty
plea in the June 15 slaying of Mau
reen McLaughlin, District Attorney
Ken Anderson said.
Anderson said he couldn’t estab
lish “a firm motive” for the killing.
McLaughlin, 27, had been visiting
a friend who lives in a Williamson
County suburb of Austin. Both
women worked for Beverly Enter
prises, a health care business, An
derson said.
He said the women went to Aus
tin’s Sixth Street nightclub district,
met Barber and another man and
went with them to McLaughlin’s
friend’s house.
Shortly after the four arrived and
paired off in different parts of the
house, the other couple heard noises
and found Barber had slit McLaugh
lin’s throat, Anderson said. Hq said
the murder weapon was a double-
edged boot knife Barber had pur
chased earlier that night.
