West African Migrant Charged In Gruesome Double Murder of Boston Doctor, Fiancée

Killer had already been convicted in attempted bank robberies

A man accused of killing two engaged doctors in their home and writing a ‘message of revenge’ on their wall has been charged before a judge at his hospital bedside.

Bampumim Teixeira, 30, was charged with two counts of murder as it emerged he used to work as a security guard at the luxury complex where his victims lived.

He got access to their $1.9million (£1.5million) apartment in Boston, Massachusetts, and allegedly slit their throats before trying to steal a bag of jewelry, police say.

Dr Richard Field, 49, and Dr Lina Bolanos, 38, were murdered after Teixeira, who is originally from West Africa, burst into their penthouse on Friday evening, police say.
