SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Two men convicted in the contract killing of a pregnant woman and her fetus have been sentenced to life in prison.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Roland Candee on Wednesday sentenced 24-year-old Khae Saephan and co-defendant Xeng Saetern for fatally shooting 28-year-old Si Saeturn, who was five-months pregnant, in December 2005 in Sacramento.
Saephan has no chance of parole, while Saetern received 100 years to life.
Prosecutors say Si Saeturn's husband, Nai Saechow, contracted for her murder. He and two other accomplices were also convicted of murder and sentenced to life terms.
