A newlywed couple who lured a man to his death using a Craigslist ad have been sentenced to life without parole. The judge said Miranda Barbour, 19, and her husband Elytte Barbour, 22, must be permanently removed from society.
Elytte Barbour apologised during Thursday's hearing in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, though said he could not explain his actions. The couple pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence.Their admission of the lesser charge spared them the death penalty.
They had been married just three weeks when they met up with their 42-year-old victim Troy LaFerrara on November 11 last year. He had answered an ad posted on Craigslist by Miranda Barbour offering companionship for men who "hated their wives". Elytte Barbour told police he hid under a blanket in the back seat of the couple's SUV as his wife picked up Mr LaFerrara from a shopping centre.
