Man accused of killing 6 found guilty of murder
AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas jury has found a man guilty of capital murder in the deaths of his ex-girlfriend’s daughter and the girl’s friend.
The Austin American-Statesman reports that jurors took less than 20 minutes Friday to find Paul Devoe guilty of murdering 15-year-old Haylie Faulkner and 17-year-old Danielle Hensley at a house in Jonestown in August 2007. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Devoe also is accused of killing Haylie’s mother and her mother’s boyfriend at the home, a bartender in Marble Falls, and an elderly woman near State Line, Pa., a few days later.
He was arrested in Shirley, N.Y., on Aug. 27, 2007.
