A University of Pennsylvania economics professor accused of bludgeoning his wife to death last December pleaded guilty this morning to voluntary manslaughter, The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported.
The professor, Rafael Robb, was arrested in January and charged with first- and third-degree murder after his wife, Ellen, was found beaten beyond recognition in the kitchen of their Upper Merion home on December 22. Mr. Robb originally denied any involvement in the murder of his wife, who was seeking a divorce at the time of her death.
