Pastor Gets Life Sentence for Killing Daughters
A Belgian pastor convicted of killing six family members and dissolving their bodies in drain cleaner was sentenced by a jury to life in prison. A daughter who assisted him received a 21-year sentence.
Andras Pandy, 74, was found guilty Tuesday of murdering six family members. Agnes Pandy, 44, was convicted of five murders.
Agnes Pandy’s lawyers said her father raped her and coerced her into collaborating in the killings.
Prosecutors say Pandy raped his daughters and stepdaughters, then turned to murder between 1986 and 1989 to cover up the incest after one became pregnant.
