A District father accused of having sex with his teenage daughter before killing her has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder while armed.
The body of 17-year-old Ebony Franklin was found stuffed a trash bin in Columbia Heights in November, and her father was arrested two months ago after prosecutors said DNA evidence showed that he had sex with her around the time of her death.
Prosecutors said Rodney McIntyre, 45, of Southeast Washington, stabbed Franklin 15 times before discarding the body in the neighborhood where he grew up. Prosecutors said McIntyre developed an incestuous relationship with Franklin after they were reunited a few years ago.
Prosecutors agreed to seek less than 40 years in prison for McIntyre.
