A man arrested in connection with the February double homicide of an engaged couple in Peabody pleaded guilty to accessory and attempted arson charges in Salem Superior Court on Wednesday.
Michael Hebb, 45, was sentenced by Judge Timothy Feeley to no less than six years and no more than seven years in state prison, followed by five years probation after pleading guilty to being an accessory after the fact of the murder of Jennifer O’Connor, 40, and attempted arson of a dwelling. Hebb has 246 days credited to the imposed sentence.
Hebb admitted that he assisted in covering up and attempted to destroy the evidence of the killing of O’Connor, who was found dead with her fiancé, Mark Greenlaw, 37, in a Farm Avenue home on Feb. 19.
