Inmate charged in security guard's murder sentenced in robberies

Healthcare Security Weekly, July 16, 2007

The man accused of killing a hospital security guard and a deputy sheriff in Virginia last August will stay in jail after being convicted of the robbery charges he was originally held on. Twenty-five-year-old William Morva was sentenced in late June to 38 years in prison for attempted robbery, reported the Associated Press.

 

Morva had been in the Montgomery County Jail awaiting trial on the robbery charges when he escaped from a deputy's custody after being taken to Montgomery Regional Hospital in Blacksburg, VA. He is charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of hospital security guard Derrick McFarland and Corporal Eric Sutphin of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. A trial on the murder changes is scheduled for September.
