WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A California woman and her biological son pleaded no contest Friday to the slayings of his adoptive parents in Kansas in deals with prosecutors sparing them the death penalty.
Thirty-six-year-old Kisha Schaberg entered the plea Friday morning to capital murder and two counts of aggravated robbery. Hours later, 20-year-old Anthony Bluml pleaded no contest to capital murder in the November 2013 deaths of his adoptive parents, Roger and Melissa Bluml.
Two of his friends are also charged in the killings.
The couple was shot in the head as they sat in a truck outside their home in rural Valley Center. Melissa Bluml died the next day and Roger Bluml died about five weeks later.
Schaberg’s sentencing is set for June 24. Anthony Bluml will be sentenced June 16.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A California woman has pleaded “no contest’ to the slayings of her biological sons’ adoptive parents in Kansas.
Kisha Schaberg entered the plea Friday to capital murder and aggravated robbery charges in a deal with prosecutors that would spare her the death penalty.
The San Diego woman, along with her biological son and two of his friends, is charged in the November 2013 shootings of Melissa and Roger Bluml outside their home in rural Valley Center.
Fifty-three-year-old Melissa Bluml died at a Wichita hospital the next day. Forth-eight-year-old Roger Bluml died five weeks later.
Schaberg’s biological son, Anthony Bluml, and his former high school classmates, Andrew Ellington and Braden Smith, are also charged in the deaths.
