Michael Plummadore, 39, is charged in connection with the death of the girl. Plummadore was watching Lemmon and her two sisters for a week while their mother was sick. He was a neighbor and considered a friend of the family.
In an interview with police, Plumadore admitted that he used a brick to hit Lemmon in the head several times. He said he then carried Lemmon's body to his home and used a hack saw to cut her into pieces.
Plummadore’s murder trial is scheduled to begin on June 18.
