PHILIPSBURG--M.K.J., (28) a suspect in the murders of American couple Michael and Thelma King, has admitted his involvement in the murders and in the Happy Star robbery on September 26, a press release from Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos said.

 
M.K.J. was led before the judge of instruction on Wednesday morning, October 3, and the judge granted the prosecution's demand for his pre-trial detention for eight days.
 
The second suspect, J.C.M. (17), will be led before the judge of instruction on Thursday, October 4, who will then evaluate the prolongation of his detention. J.C.M. is being represented by attorney Shaira Bommel, who declined comment on her client and the case.
 
"In the interest of the investigation no further details will be divulged at this time and both suspects are under full restrictions. This means that only the suspect and the lawyer are allowed to have contact with one another about this case," the press release stated.
 
The Kings were found stabbed to death in their Cupecoy condominium on Friday, September 21.
 
Happy Star Restaurant was robbed at night and the suspects fled the scene in a heavily tinted black car. Police fired shots at the car and found and seized the vehicle the following day.
 
Funeral services for the late Kings were held in South Carolina on Wednesday, October 3, with about 500 people in attendance.
 
"They shared with others those things that they have been blessed with. They apparently cared for and loved each other very much," Chapin United Methodist Church (CUMC) Pastor Paul Allen said. Michael King's family attends CUMC. The pastor also said the funeral service was about celebrating the Kings' lives and comforting those who were mourning their deaths.
A good friend of the family gave the eulogy and the pastor said that in all his time serving God he never had seen an outpouring of support quite like this.
