Juan Antonio Arreola-Murillo was sentenced to at least 60 years and up to life in prison for killing Sonia Mejia and her unborn child on Feb. 9, 2006, and then killing Damiana Castillo.
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah judge on Thursday sent a man to prison for the rest of his life for killing two women two years apart, in 2006 and 2008, and for killing the unborn boy of the first woman.
Pettit sentenced Arreola-Murillo, 42, to three terms of 20 years to life in prison for three counts of aggravated murder and ordered those sentences to be served consecutively, meaning his sentence is 60 years to life in prison. The judge also said she will recommend that the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole never allow him to become eligible for parole.
Deputy Salt Lake County attorney Vincent Meister said Arreola-Murillo knew both of the victims through his sister. He went to church with Castillo and had been to her home for dinner. He said Castillo is believed to have been strangled with a cord from her own sweatshirt, and his DNA was found on her wallet. Meister said both crime scenes were chaotic.
