A 62-year-old New York serial killer, whose victims included a woman originally from Sangre Grande, was sentenced yesterday to spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole.

The consecutive sentences, imposed by Suffolk County Court Judge Timothy Mazzei in Riverhead, Long Island, ensure that Rex Heuermann—husband, father and former Manhattan architect—will die in a maximum-security prison.

Heuermann pleaded guilty two months ago to torturing, mutilating, and murdering seven women, and formally admitted to killing an eighth.
