WOBURN, Mass. — A man in Massachusetts has been convicted of killing his wife and 11-year-old stepson out of anger over the time she spent with members of her Mormon church.

The jury found Jeremias Bins guilty of two counts of first-degree murder Tuesday for the 2006 slayings. He was sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison.

His wife, 37-year-old Carla Souza, was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. About two hours before killing Souza and 11-year-old Caique, Bins called ward members and told them he did not want “you missionaries” at his home anymore.
