SEDGWICK COUNTY —A man convicted of killing three people in Wichita in 2014 was finally sentenced Wednesday.
Judge Kevin O’Connor sentenced 49-year-old Vinh Van Nguyen of Wichita to life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In November, Nguyen pleaded guilty to one count of capital murder.
In June of 2014, Nguyen shot and killed his girlfriend, 45-year-old Tuyet Huynh, her 20-year-old daughter, Trinh Pham, and Pham's husband, 21-year-old Sean Pham, at a home in the 2200 block of South Beech Street in Wichita.
According to Wichita Police on the night of the murders, Trinh Pham called 911 and reported someone was inside their South Beech Street house and gunshots were being fired. She was in the basement of the residence with her infant son.
When officers arrived at the home, they kicked in the door and found Nguyen in the master bedroom along with his girlfriend Tuyet Huynh's body. Police found her daughter's body in the basement, and Sean Pham's body in a hallway. They had been shot multiple times. The infant was not injured, according to police.
