A Florida neo-Nazi who converted to Islam pleaded guilty Monday to murdering his roommates for disrespecting his faith.

Devon Arthurs, now 24, agreed to a term of 45 years in prison in exchange for admitting his guilt for the 2017 shooting deaths of Jeremy Himmelman and Andrew Onseschuck inside a Tampa apartment.

Arthurs and his two roommates had once been part of a neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Divison before the racist became a Muslim and renounced his prior beliefs.

He told police after his arrest that he had been teased for his new faith and accused his victims of planning bombing attacks.

He also told investigators that Muslim countries were being bombed and that he wanted the slayings to call attention to the anti-Muslim sentiment.

“I had to do it,” he told detectives, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “This wouldn’t have had to happen if your country didn’t bomb my country.”
