Principal Pleads Guilty to Using School Funds to Murder His Pregnant Lover [Horror IRL]
Late last month, a former middle school principal entered a guilty plea in a tawdry murder-for-hire plot.
This case has been working through the legal system since 2016 but is finally winding down.
Court documents reveal that Cornelius Green of Saint Louis has pleaded guilty to murder for hire and conspiracy to murder for hire in conjunction with the death of Jocelyn Peters and her unborn child.
Green previously served as principal at the Carr Lane Visual Performing Arts School in Saint Louis. Peters was an instructor at Mann Elementary, which is nearby. Though Green was married, he and Peters were having an affair. Further complicating matters, Peters was pregnant with Green’s child.

In February 2016, Green messaged Phillip Cutler, a childhood friend, asking him to come to Saint Louis. The following month, Green paid Cutler $2,500. According to court records, the funds were stolen from Carr Lane Visual Performing Arts School, where Green was employed.

Renton Washington, a city just ten miles from Seattle, is a beautiful waterfront community where murders don’t happen and is the setting for today’s tale. In March of 2016, Ingrid Lyne, a nurse and a divorced single mom to three young girls, jumped back into the dating pool. That’s where she met a handsome man with sparkling blue eyes. His name was John Charlton. After a few weeks of dating Charlton, she went with him to see a Seattle Mariners game, and she was never seen alive again. Ingrid, who met Charlton through an online dating website, didn’t know about Charlton’s shady past. Charlton was homeless, a crack cocaine user, and an alcoholic with a criminal record in six states. They dated for approximately one month before he took her to a Seattle Mariners game on the evening of April 8th. The next morning, Ingrid’s ex-husband, Philip Lane, who had their three girls overnight, arrived at her house to drop off the kids. Knocked on the door, but Ingrid didn’t answer. That’s when family and friends knew something was amiss.

Cutler went to Saint Loius on March 21, 2016, and stayed at Green’s home. That same day, Green took a train to Chicago but left behind the keys to Peters’ apartment for Cutler. Ms. Peters was shot on March 24, 2016. Both she and her unborn child were killed. Green returned home from Chicago later that day and subsequently phoned the police regarding the death of his girlfriend.
Cutler has also been indicted on charges of murder for hire and conspiracy to murder for hire. Cutler’s trial is expected to commence this month.
