Chris Watts

American murderer who admitted to killing his pregnant wife Shanann Cathryn Watts (née Rzucek, born 10 January 1984 in New Jersey) by strangulation. Their daughters, four-year-old Bella, and three-year-old Celeste, died by asphyxiation due to smothering. He then disposed of his daughters bodies in oil tanks and buried his wife in a shallow grave at his work-site. Watts pleaded guilty on 6 November 2018 to multiple counts of first-degree murder as part of a plea deal when the death penalty was removed from sentencing. He was sentenced to five life sentences without the possibility of parole, three to be served consecutively and two to be served concurrently. On 3 December 2018, Watts was moved to an out-of-state location due to "security concerns". On 5 December 2018, he arrived at the Dodge Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison, in Waupun, Wisconsin, to continue serving his life sentences. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
