Boston Man Accused of Murdering Two Doctors Was ‘Lurking’ Near Their Penthouse Condo: Prosecutors
A Boston man accused of murdering two doctors in their penthouse condo in 2017 was “looking, waiting, and lurking out front, out back for just the right opportunity to present itself” before the brutal slayings, prosecutors alleged Thursday.
Bampumim Teixeira, 32, has pleaded not guilty to several charges, including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and kidnapping, for the May 2017 killings of Dr. Lina Bolanos, 38, and her fiancé, 49-year-old Dr. Richard Field. Authorities say Teixeira fatally stabbed the engaged couple before he was shot by police inside their home.
His murder trial began on Thursday in Suffolk Superior Court, where Teixeira sat emotionless as prosecutors argued the crime was a robbery gone wrong, with investigators finding a bag of Bolanos’ jewelry and another with two fake guns, a knife, and duct tape inside the couple’s 11th floor condo.
