A Minnesota father convicted of helping his killer son hide the bodies of four victims in Wisconsin was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Dunn County Circuit Judge James Peterson ordered 59-year-old Darren Osborne to serve 16 years in jail after he was found guilty of four counts of hiding a corpse late last year.
Prosecutors said Osborne helped his son Antoine Suggs hide the bodies of Jasmine Sturm, 30, her brother Matthew Pettus, 26, her boyfriend Loyace Foreman III, 35, and her friend Nitosha Flug-Presley, 30, after he shot and killed them during a night of drinking.
Suggs, who was sentenced to 103 years in prison in 2023 claimed he killed the four victims in self-defense because he believed they were planning to rob him.
But prosecutors said Suggs intended to kill the victims before fatally shooting them in St. Paul in September 2021, then driving their bodies to a Dunn County cornfield with the help of his father.
The father and son left the bodies in Suggs’ SUV and returned home in Osborne’s car. The owner of the cornfield discovered the bodies.
In 2022, a Minnesota judge sentenced Osborne to five years in jail. He’ll now serve the two sentences concurrently.
