A 53-year-old Japanese man was sentenced to two life prison terms without the possibility of parole by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge Thursday for murdering his wife and daughter more than three years ago.
Dressed in a blue jail suit, Kazumi Taga listened calmly as Judge Larry Fidler read the sentence and ordered him to make restitution.
Last month, Taga pleaded guilty to killing his wife, Yuriko, 38, and daughter, Megumi, 4, whose bodies were found bound together and weighed down by a diving belt in Los Angeles harbor in September 2000.
