FREELAND, Pa. — A Luzerne County man is guilty of first-degree murder.
Roberto Torner was convicted Thursday night.
Torner was one of two men accused of killing Jose Herran in 2015 at a property near Freeland.
Police say the two suspects then dismembered the victim's body and dumped his remains in the Lehigh River.
Torner is scheduled to be sentenced in July.
David Alzugaray will be tried separately on charges of murder, conspiring to commit murder, and abuse of a corpse. His trial is scheduled to begin on July 10.
