"Marines Killing Marines"
Two Former Marines have been sentenced to death after they stormed the home of an Iraq veteran and his wife and shot the newly married couple dead.
Sergeant Jan Pietrzak, 24, and his wife Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak, 26, were bound and gagged before being shot in the head. Emrys John, 23, and Tyrone Miller, 25, were both given the death penalty for their roles in the killings in Riverside County, California.
A third Former Marine, Kevin Cox, 25, was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The three men - all former Marines - had stormed into the couple's home in the French Valley neighborhood as part of a robbery scheme, prosecutors said.
