BUTLER, Pa.—A New Jersey landscaper who killed his father and
stepmother in western Pennsylvania has pleaded no contest to
third-degree murder.  Forty-two-year-old Colin Abbott of
Randolph, N.J. entered the pleas on Tuesday. Authorities say
Abbott dismembered the bodies and scattered the remains on the
family property in Butler County. That's about 50 miles north of
Pittsburgh.  The remains of 65-year-old Kenneth Abbott, a
pharmaceutical executive with a multimillion-dollar estate, and
55-year-old Celeste Abbott were found in July 2011. Prosecutors
say that money was a factor in the killings.  Abbott is
scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday, and as part of the plea
deal he will avoid the death penalty.  Prosecutors are
recommending a sentence of 35 to 80 years.
