L.A. parents who decapitated two of their kids, forced siblings to view the bodies, are sentenced

An L.A. County couple decapitated their two eldest children in what prosecutors called a “monstrous” act of violence that left their community stunned. On Monday, the pair were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Lancaster residents Maurice Jewel Taylor Sr., 39, and his wife, Natalie Sumiko Brothwell, 49, were found guilty of two felony counts of first-degree murder in November.

Taylor and Brothwell were each sentenced to six years in prison plus two consecutive terms of life without parole, according to Venusse D. Dunn, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office.

The couple’s two surviving children were placed under a 10-year protective order by the court.
