Edward Covington back in the news

If you remember he has been arrested for the murders of his girlfriend and her two children on Mother’s Day this year.

This scumbag has confessed to the murders according to the investigators handling this case yet Covington was allowed by law to enter a not guilty plea on his charges.











On Mother’s Day Lisa Freiberg, 26, Zachary, 7, and Savannah, 2 were found brutally murdered in their home in Lutz. Freiberg’s mother found her daughter and two grand children dead.

Covington, 36, faces 9 charges including three counts of first degree murder.

Now the ex-wife has spoken up and told investigators of Covington’s violent past. She said once in a fight Covington covered her mouth and started to choke her and only stopped after her mom showed up.

Covington went as far to break his own nose before and then blamed his ex-wife for the injury. Covington also broke her wrist, elbow and broke several of her teeth.

Of course we cannot forget about the baby sitter. The baby sitter has also come forward with information. The baby sitter told investigators that Freiberg was scared of Eddie because he is bi-polar and been off his medication.

She also reported that a week before the murders, she saw Savannah with a black eye and swollen lip.

Now with the new information coming to light about Covington, we still have to play his games.

Well I should say the attorneys’ games. We have a confessed killer of a mother and two children and now he was given the option by our courts to plea not guilty. I cannot wait to hear the insanity plea his attorneys’ are working on, I’m sure that will be the only defense they can come up with.

After all he was found in the home once Deputies arrived and then he overdosed on 100pills before police arrested him.

Sadly that did not kill him and now we have to foot the bill for him and his attorneys to play games and enter a not guilty plea.

Covington is still in jail without bond.

There still has not been a lot of crime scene information released (or made public) but some have said it was the worst scene they have ever encountered.

Wonder if they charged him with killing the dog as well? I should look at the court site, maybe later when I have time I will research his court file.

I think now it will be more interesting to see what kind of games the defense attorney(s) play in this case.
