BELVIDERE, N.J. (AP) -- A former nurse who pleaded guilty to killing 13 patients in New Jersey admitted three more murders Wednesday -- all elderly female patients given overdoses of the heart drug digoxin.

It was the second of what is likely to be several hearings in jurisdictions in which Charles Cullen, 44, will plead guilty to murder. Wednesday's slayings involved patients who died in 1993 at Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg.

Cullen agreed to a sentence of three life prison terms with no chance of parole for 90 years. That term would come on top of the life sentence with no chance of parole for 127 years he had received last month when admitting to 13 other patients' deaths.

The three women whom Cullen admitted killing at Warren Hospital were Helen Dean, 91, Lucy Mugavero, 90, and Mary Natoli, 85.

Afterward, Cullen's lawyer said the former nurse would like to explain himself one day to his victims' families.
