Man performs father-in-law and sister-in-law to lure ex-wife to funeral

An unthinkable crime happened in the city of El Paso, Texas. Samuel Velasco Gurrola was arrested after murdering three people of the same family. The 41-year-old man feared his ex-wife Ruth Sagredo would testify against him in a case of sexual abuse. Without finding the woman, he hired a murderer to execute Ruth's father to lure her into town. Since she didn't go to the funeral, he decided to kill her sister too.

When Ruth appeared at the wake, he executed her and was finally arrested by the local police. His trial is scheduled for January, and officials believe he had the help of his two brothers to work out the macabre plan.
