INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man has pled guilty to murdering a man he had known and been friends with for decades.
James Hayden, 46, was killed in July 2020. He was found inside of a bedroom in his home with duct tape and electrical wiring restraining his body.
Prosecutors said there were obvious signs of an altercation inside the home, including several broken items and a bloody knife.
Ronald Collins' sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 9. Collins told detectives he stayed at Hayden’s residence and that they had been friends since he was 13-years-old.
