UNDERCOFLER, Presiding Justice.
Appellant was convicted of malice murder, felony murder and armed robbery. He was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences. This appeal followed. Held:

2. There was only one victim. The felony murder is included in the malice murder. Burke v. State, 234 Ga. 512 ( 216 S.E.2d 812). The trial court is directed to vacate the sentence for felony murder.
Judgment affirmed with direction. All the Justices concur.
