ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A cleaning service contractor at a General Motors plant near Detroit was sentenced Thursday for killing a co-worker last August.
Astrit Gjon Bushi, 48, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. According to WDIV, Bushi was convicted last month of first-degree premeditated murder for the death of Gregory Lanier Robertson, 49.
Bushi and Robertson were both employees of a cleaning service that was contracted by the General Motors assembly plant in Oakland County’s Orion Township when the killing happened in August 2022, according to The Associated Press.
