WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Two people were sentenced Thursday for a brutal murder in Wilkes-Barre.
Reynaldo Mercado got life in prison, and Louisa Alex Reyes received 40 years to life for the murder of Fred Boote.
Wednesday, a jury found Mercado guilty on all counts, including murder, robbery, and abuse of a corpse.
Reyes pleaded guilty in September.
Investigators say Mercado stabbed Boote to death at his home in 2018.
Reyes, who was 14 at the time, helped.
