URBANA, Ill. (AP) — A central Illinois man convicted of fatally shooting his live-in girlfriend and her adult daughter last year in their rural home has been sentenced to life in prison.

A Champaign County judge sentenced 30-year-old Jonathon Perry on Thursday in the March 2020 killing of 54-year-old Kimberly Coyne and her 24-year-old daughter, Blair Coyne.

They were found shot to death at the rural St. Joseph home they had allowed the unemployed Perry to share with them. A jury convicted Perry last month on two counts of first degree murder. Because he was convicted of two murders, the judge was obligated to sentence Perry to life in prison.
