Denver man convicted of killing his girlfriend, her mother

DENVER (AP) - A Denver man has been convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his girlfriend and her mother.

Twenty-eight-year-old Angel Chavez was found guilty Thursday after a six-day trial. A judge sentenced him to two consecutive sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Chavez was charged with the July 2016 deaths of 26-year-old Maira Cordero-Cuesta and 45-year-old Raquel Cordero-Cuesta

Chavez and Maira Cordero-Cuesta had two children. Chavez was convicted in 2008 of abuse against one of the children and was on parole at the time of the stabbings.
