Philadelphia coontract killer admits to murdering six people


A Philadelphia man who confessed to six murders, four of which he served as a hitman for a drug dealer, will spend the rest of his life in prison, prosecutors revealed.

Ernest Pressley pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and four counts of use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, Jacqueline C. Romero, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, said Wednesday.

“By his own admission, Ernest Pressley is an incredibly dangerous individual with no qualms about accepting money to calculatedly and cold-bloodedly murder anyone,” Romero said.
A subsequent investigation into the matter allowed investigators to tie the 42-year-old suspect to other murders in the Philadelphia area, including the slayings of two tow truck drivers, both of who worked for A. Bob’s Towing.

Pressley had agreed to kill one of the men, identified as K.F., for money so that he would not testify in an assault trial. In a bid to cover up the slaying, Pressley first selected one of his co-workers at random and killed him on Jan. 12, 2017 as he left for work. The following day, Pressley approached K.F. as he left his home and entered his tow truck, which was being driven by a co-worker, identified as E.R.

Pressley then opened fire on the pair, fatally striking both men. Prosecutors said he wanted authorities to believe the violence was the result of a feud between the truckers.
