WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A court in western Poland has convicted a former concert hall stagehand and sentenced him to life in prison for the double homicide of a woman harpist and a male security guard, in a crime that has shocked the country.

The 30-year-old man — identified only as Michal M., in line with Poland’s privacy laws — was convicted in Jelenia Gora over the killings in the town in March 2013. The victims were found dead inside the building of the Lower Silesia Philharmonic, where the man was employed.
