Man who murdered 9 women and teen girl sentenced to death
A man convicted of murdering nine women and a teenage girl has been sentenced to death.
The jury announced the verdict in a Los Angeles court today, following a three-month trial.
The gruesome killings occurred over a twenty year period in Los Angeles, between 1985 and 2007.
Local media say the 63-year-old, dubbed the ‘grim sleeper’, would stalk his victims before raping, shooting or strangling them and dumping their bodies in alleyways.
