A New York man who attempted to have a romantic rival killed and his body fed to pigs pleaded guilty in federal court to the deranged plot.

A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of New York revealed on Wednesday that 57-year-old Jeal Sutherland pleaded guilty to charges related to using an interstate commerce facility in a murder-for-hire plot. Sutherland’s arrest in January came after an FBI investigation, initiated when a man who later became an FBI informant set a car ablaze in November—allegedly at Sutherland’s request.

What the informant told agents after that revealed a sickening plot that involved a love triangle, a nun, and a “good bottle of bourbon.”

The criminal complaint detailed that the informant had been asked by Sutherland to ignite the vehicle, which was owned by the mother of a man in jail. This man shared a child with Sutherland’s girlfriend, and the mother was due to testify at a custody hearing regarding the child. Sutherland desired to thwart her attendance.

The informant disclosed to agents that Sutherland had used him as an “enforcer” for multiple revenge-motivated activities. Though many targets allegedly owed Sutherland money, the informant indicated that larger plans were underway concerning the imprisoned individual.

The criminal complaint stated that Sutherland wanted the man dead upon his January release from prison. In exchange, Sutherland would forgive the informant of any debt he had. But Sutherland didn’t just want the other man dead — he wanted him gone.

Specifically, he intended to “dispose of the body at a hog farm in Pennsylvania,” according to the complaint.

The informant began recording conversations he had with Sutherland, during which they discussed the plans for killing the man and transporting the body. In December, the informant told Sutherland, “I have a van I can rent for like $250 from a nun. We take him to a farm and let the hogs eat him.”

Sutherland told the informant that his then-girlfriend had different plans for the man, saying that she wanted him “strapped to a chair so she can hit him with a baseball bat.” However he also noted that “she would fold like an accordion” if she was ever questioned. Sutherland later expressed his desire to be less involved in the actual crime, telling the informant, “I don’t want to know anything about it,” but he would still like to see proof that his target was dead.
