Conn. man sentenced for teen killing spree

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A 20-year-old Hartford man was sentenced Friday to 55 years in prison for killing two people and shooting two others over a nine-day period last year. Charles Wilson had pleaded guilty earlier to two counts of felony murder and two counts of first-degree assault. The Hartford Court reports that Judge Joan Alexander told him at his sentencing in Hartford Superior Court his "horrific crimes cannot be tolerated in a civilized society." Prosecutors said Wilson, then 18, had showed no remorse for killing two men during May 2011 robberies in which he wasn't threatened. A surveillance video showed Wilson shot Manchester convenience store clerk Aurang Zaib Sahi in the head May 22 as Sahi had his hands raised in the air. On May 30, he fatally shot 74-year-old Andrew Igidi in the chest during a robbery attempt on Albany Avenue. On May 27, Wilson injured two innocent bystanders as he shot at a man, also on Albany Avenue.
