DiNardo confessed to authorities that he killed the four men and buried them in his family farm. His lawyer Paul Yang said that in exchange for the confession, prosecutors agreed to remove any death penalty.

As part of the confession deal with prosecutors, DiNardo also identified the co-conspirator in the murders during their talks, according to Daily News.

As he left the court on Thursday, a broken DiNardo said “I’m sorry” as he was led to the Bucks County Justice Center in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit.

Allegedly, DiNardo killed the 4 men separately after selling them marijuana before burning their bodies and burying them in his farm, leaving behind a mass grave for authorities to find.

So far officials have only been able to confirm the identify of one of the bodies—Dean R. Finocchiaro, 19, of Middletown—while the other three bodies remain unidentified.
