A man who killed three people in Buncombe County in 2015 will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Pierre Griffin the Third pleaded guilty yesterday to the murders, a plea that was part of a deal to avoid the death penalty.
He had been charged with the murders of Tatianna Diz, Alex King and Uhon Johnson, all believed to be connected to some sort of drug deal.
Johnson's body was found in his apartment, while the bodies of Diz and King were pulled out of the French Broad River.
