Levi Aron, on trial for the murder of 8-year-old haredi boy Leiby Kletzky in Brooklyn last year, pleaded guilty as part of a deal by which he will serve 40 years in prison.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes agreed to offer Aron a plea bargain at the urging of Kletzky's parents who wanted to avoid a lengthy and painful trial, according to the
New York Post. cnxps.cmd.push(function () { cnxps({ playerId: '36af7c51-0caf-4741-9824-2c941fc6c17b' }).render('4c4d856e0e6f4e3d808bbc1715e132f6'); });

According to the
Post, Aron told the judge in the Brooklyn courtroom that he cut the boy's body up with a knife, put the pieces in a suitcase and disposed of them in a dumpster.
