Life Sentence for Murderous Scheme

A Virginia man, once an IRS agent, got life without parole for murdering his wife and a stranger in a chilling, premeditated scheme. He and his wife’s au pair lured a man to their home via a fetish site, then staged a brutal murder to frame him. Banfield shot the victim, stabbed his wife with a knife the victim carried, and the au pair fired a second shot. His daughter, just four, was present during the horror. Banfield, who claimed he loved his wife, showed no remorse and was convicted of child endangerment. The au pair, who pleaded guilty, got ten years. The victims’ families described them as kind and gentle, making this case a devastating tragedy with no redemption. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
