A man charged with killing his wife and stepdaughter in Post Falls in 2014 pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder Wednesday. Angel Albertico Morales-Larranaga, 27, accepted a plea agreement that calls for him to be sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in prison with no chance of parole. He also waived his right to appeal the sentence. In exchange, Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney Barry McHugh agreed to withdraw his intent to seek the death penalty in the case. Morales-Larranaga, an immigrant from Mexico who’s living in the country illegally, will be sentenced Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. before 1st District Judge Fred Gibler/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
