Mothers Day Massacre | Gruesome Murder of Girlfriend and Her Kids | Edward Covington Part 3

This is the full police interrogation of Edward Covington, the Florida man convicted of one of the most gruesome and disturbing murder cases in the state’s history. In 2008, Covington brutally murdered his girlfriend, Lisa Freiberg, along with her two young children and their family pets in a horrifying act of violence. Detectives press him for answers, uncovering chilling details about his mindset and motives. Watch as investigators break down his disturbing confessions and piece together the evidence in this shocking true crime case. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

Edward Covington, who killed his girlfriend and her two children, sentenced to death
TAMPA — Seven years after a triple homicide that Hillsborough County's sheriff called the grisliest he had ever seen, a judge on Friday sentenced Edward Covington to death for the murder of his girlfriend and her two children.

In a rejection of defense attorneys' arguments that Covington is mentally ill and should be spared the death penalty, the judge found that death was the appropriate punishment for one of the goriest homicide cases in Hillsborough's history. Covington, 42, absorbed the sentence impassively, surrounded by stone-faced lawyers.

Outside the courtroom, Barbara Freiberg, the victims' mother and grandmother, said she approved of the judge's ruling, though she acknowledged it would likely entail years, if not decades, of appeals.

"There's a relief knowing that he's going to get what he gave my children," she said.
On May 12, 2008, Freiberg opened the door to her daughter Lisa's mobile home in Lutz and encountered a blood-soaked crime scene. Lisa Freiberg, 26, and her two children, Zachary Freiberg, 7, and Heather Savannah Freiberg, 2, had been beaten, choked and stabbed. Authorities said Covington had attacked the family with a hammer and knife. After killing the children, he dismembered their bodies.

Sheriff's deputies found Covington, a former prison guard, cowering in a closet, wearing nothing but underwear and covered in scratches and traces of blood.

Charged with three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of abuse of a dead body and one count of animal abuse for killing the family's dog, Covington sat in prison for years, waiting for his day in court. But when his trial began last fall, he stunned everyone, including the public defenders representing him, by abruptly firing them and announcing that he would plead guilty.

"I expect you to sentence me to death," he told Hillsborough Circuit Judge William Fuente, adding that this was the sentence he would choose for himself. "I feel it's warranted. The Freibergs feel it's warranted. The state feels it's warranted. I have no problem with this."

Covington's decision to forgo a jury trial left his fate entirely with the judge and prompted Fuente to issue a stern warning. He had encountered a similar situation only once before in his career, he told Covington, and he sentenced that defendant to death.

On Friday, after more than six months of reviewing court transcripts and medical records, Fuente said the horrifying manner in which the three victims were killed outweighed the defense argument that Covington was driven by mental illness.

From the outset of the case, Covington's lawyers portrayed him as a deeply disturbed man who, at the time of the murders, was not taking prescribed medications to control his bipolar disorder.
Medical records showed that by age 15, he was taking the mood stabilizer lithium. His mother testified that throughout his teenage years and into adulthood, he swung wildly between periods of high energy and deep depression, was repeatedly hospitalized and tried to commit suicide multiple times. By the time his case went to trial, he was taking four different medications — Depakote, Seroquel, Zoloft and Klonopin.

It has been lightly edited for clarity.On January 2, 2020, 1317 hours, Miami police officers were dispatched to the Novotel Miami at 1500 SW 1st Avenue in reference to a strong arm robbery. Upon arrival, officers located two victims on scene. I, Detective Ledlow, then responded to the scene where I contacted Sergeant Rosemond, who gave me a brief synopsis of the incident. I then interviewed Victim #1, who stated that he is a music promoter. He previously made an agreement with defendant Jonathan Kirk for $30,000 for the defendant to perform at Cafe Iguana Pines on today’s date.At approximately 1300 hours the victims met up with the defendant and gave him $20,000 in US currency. When the defendant counted the money, he complained that he was short $10,000. The defendant began demanding the rest of the money and a verbal altercation ensued. The defendant then punched Victim #2 in the face. The defendant then approached Victim #1 with several other males and began attacking him. During the attack the victim fell to the ground and the males continued to hit him.One of the offenders then reached into the victims front left pocket and took his iPhone 7, a Bank of America credit card bearing Victim #1’s photo, and approximately $80 in US currency. The victim further stated that during the altercation one of the offenders doused him with apple juice. The offenders then fled the scene in a black SUV. The victim was unable to provide me with a make model or tag for the vehicle.I then interviewed Victim #2 whose statement was consistent with the statement made by Victim #1. However, Victim #2 stated that he did not witness the robbery because, after he was punched in the face, he fled into the hotel fearing for his safety.At approximately 1650 hours the defendant returned to the lobby area of the hotel.
