Jesse Matthew Jr. has pleaded guilty to the murders of University of Virginia sophomore Hannah Graham and Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington.

Under the plea agreement, he will receive a total of four life sentences and won’t be eligible for geriatric release, NBC29 reports.

Harrington disappeared in October of 2009 after attending a Metallica concert at the University of Virginia. Her remains were found three months later on a nearby farm.

Almost five years later, Graham went missing after a night out in Charlottesville’s downtown. Surveillance footage showed Matthew briefly following Graham, and they were seen together at a bar. After a massive manhunt, authorities found Graham’s remains five weeks later on an abandoned property about 12 miles away.

Authorities have said that DNA linked the two murders.

Matthew was also sentenced in October to three life terms in a 2005 attack in Fairfax, one each for charges of abducting, sexually assaulting, and attempting to kill a woman. Then-26-year-old victim recounted being dragged to a grassy area, assaulted, and strangled before a passerby helped scare the attacker away. That case was linked to Graham and Harrington’s through a DNA sample taken from the Fairfax victim’s fingernail.

Matthew entered an Alford plea in that case, meaning he didn’t admit guilt but acknowledged that the prosecutors had enough evidence to secure a conviction. But he did admit guilt in the cases of Graham and Harrington. Both families supported the plea deal.

“There are no winners here,” Gil Harrington told NBC. “You know, our daughters are still dead. But then, I corrected myself, that actually the winner is the community, and maybe that’s what the abstract of justice means.”
