Just two days after he stood in a Georgia courtroom and confessed to the grisly murder of a seven-year-old girl, handyman Ryan Brunn committed suicide.

Brunn, 20, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to the December 2011 murder of pretty Jorelys Rivera, after he snatched her from an apartment complex playground near her home in Canton, Georgia.

Unable to live with his hideous crime, and the devastating pain that he caused Jorelys' family, he took his own life on Thursday, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
