A Montgomery County man convicted of killing his wife and fatally beating his 11-year-old stepson with a baseball bat was sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Curtis Lopez used a 30-pound weight and knife to kill his wife, Jane McQuain, 51, inside her Germantown apartment in October 2011. He then lured her son, William, to a wooded area in Clarksburg, where he beat the boy with a baseball bat, crushing his skull into 36 pieces, according to prosecutors.
