An Illinois woman has pleaded guilty but mentally ill in the 2020 stabbing deaths of her boyfriend’s parents.

Arin M. Fox, 42, pleaded guilty last week in McHenry County to one count of murder in exchange for prosecutors dismissing three additional murder counts and charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated battery and domestic battery, The Daily Herald of Arlington Heights reported.

Authorities allege that Fox stabbed Noreen S. Gilard, 69, and Leonard J. Gilard, 73, to death in November 2020 inside their Algonquin home. They were the parents of her boyfriend at the time. She then drove their car to Douglas County, Colorado, where she was arrested.

An Illinois woman has pleaded guilty but mentally ill to the double homicide of her then-boyfriend’s parents.
