Bampumim Teixeira, the man who was arrested in 2017 for the gruesome murder of two engaged Boston doctors, has been convicted of the crime.
His sentencing is scheduled for December 13, the outlet said, and he faces life in prison without parole.
The May 2017 murders of Dr. Lina Bolanos and Dr. Richard Field, two engaged anesthesiologists, was highly publicized at the time for its gory crime scene — both Bolanos, 39, and Field, 48, were found with their hands bound and throats slit in their South Boston Penthouse, PEOPLE previously reported. The killer had even written a “message of retribution” in blood on the walls.
Teixeira, who had worked as a concierge in the couple’s building, reportedly told police that he was having an affair with Bolanos, and Field killed her in front of him after finding them together, CNNreported. Teixeira claimed that he then killed Field in self-defense.
Assistant District Attorney John Pappas, however, said in court that Teixeira’s claim was unbelievable.
“We’ve gone beyond the preposterous,” he said, CNN reported. “We’re now existing in the theater of the absurd.”

“You better hope I don’t get out of jail,” Teixeira told the prosecutor in court, prompting court officers toforcibly removehim from the room.
The threat marked the second outburst from the criminal, who said earlier, “You want to know his last words?” in reference to Field, theHeraldreported.
Because of the outbursts, Teixeira was not in the room when the jury proclaimed him guilty, and the DA’s office is reviewing his threat to Pappas to see if it earned him additional charges, Boston.comreported.
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
