Virginia man gets life in prison for double murder scheme in affair with Brazilian au pair

A Virginia man who was having an affair with the family's Brazilian au pair was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for the murder of his wife and a man who was lured to the couple's home as a fall guy.
The incident in Humble serves as a stark reminder that gun safety is a concern that affects communities throughout the Greater Houston area, including The Woodlands. As a master-planned community with a strong emphasis on family and outdoor activities, The Woodlands residents may be particularly interested in ensuring that firearms are handled and stored responsibly. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, which serves The Woodlands, has likely encountered similar situations in the past, and residents may want to take this opportunity to review their own safety protocols and consider seeking out educational resources on gun safety. Furthermore, the proximity of Humble to The Woodlands, with the two communities being connected by major highways, underscores the need for a regional approach to addressing gun safety and preventing accidental shootings.
