DNA from beer cans were used to link Kenneth Stough Jr. to blood found all over the Lil’ Champ mini-mart, where Terrance Paquette was stabbed to death, authorities said.
A Florida man who was arrested 25 years after a fatal stabbing was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison Friday, the Orange County prosecutor’s office said.
The killing of Terrance Paquett, who was stabbed 73 times as he was working alone at the Lil’ Champ mini-mart in 1996 in Orlando, went unsolved until 2021. In March of that year authorities arrested Kenneth Stough, Jr. after they said DNA from beer cans retrieved outside of his home in Eustis linked him to blood at the scene.
Stough, now 56, was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder Friday after a five-day trial, the State Attorney’s for the Ninth Judicial Circuit
