A New Life At The Expense Of An Old One


In Massachusetts a British man was convicted of shooting to death his 9-month-old baby and wife as they cuddled together in bed.

He showed no reaction as he was sentenced to two life prison terms without the opportunity for parole.

Neil Entwistle was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder in the 2006 deaths of his wife Rachel and their baby, Lillian Rose, in their rented home in Hopkinton.

He said he found them but didn't call for help, instead he fled to his native England the next day.



He claimed that his wife killed the baby and then committed suicide as they cuddled in bed.

He was depressed over mounting debt and dissatisfied over his sex life, looking for sex online.

During the brief sentencing hearing, Rachel's mother, Priscilla Matterazzo, called Entwistle's theory of a murder-suicide "low and despicable."

"Suffering does not begin to describe what we have been enduring without our beloved Rachel and Lillian," said Matterazzo, who wore a pink rose on her lapel in memory of her granddaughter.

"I have lost two generations of my family."

Entwistle's family continued to support him. "There is no way our innocent son Neil is guilty," his father, Clifford Entwistle, said before the sentencing.

He refused comment afterward.

Maybe someday he'll see what a cunt his son is. It looks like Neil snapped under pressure and took it out on innocents, how could you do that ? it makes no sense to me unless he lived in some fantasy world and thought he was in a movie or if he just ignored it nothing would happen.
