Louisiana biker couple “Kill and cut up another couple”

[Bob]

A Louisiana jury convicted a biker couple, Larry Suratt and Cynthia Anderson, of the second-degree murders of Larry Cook and Sheila Kirby, from Texas.

The jury was told how the Texas couple had lived with Suratt and Anderson for a few months, then moved out. Prosecutors say Suratt and Anderson had kicked the other couple out. Defence attorneys claimed the parting was friendly.

Suratt and Anderson then killed the other couple, removed their legs with a chain saw, sealed the cut-to-fit corpses and legs into plastic boxes, which were then thrown into the Bayou.

Suratt and Anderson face mandatory sentences of life in prison without any chance of parole.

Got to be a bit of sick puppy!!!
The States have such great prison terms for crimes, not like NZ.

no class... at least let the crocs have a chance of eating them...

or acid baths or ... there's got to be a better way that preserving their bodies in a sealed box then trhwoing them somewhere they'll obviously be found (decomsing, give of a little gas and voila - a torso sized plastic box floating in the bayou).

How would that NOT get found?

... not that I am condoning what they, just amased at their stupidity, before, during and after the critical events.

How do you get away with second degree murder after killing them both & then chopping them up with a chainsaw?
Displays a certain intent I would have thought.

Maybe they claimed self-defence?
