Their daughters, four-year-old Bella, and three-year-old Celeste, died by asphyxiation due to smothering. Watts then disposed of his daughters’ bodies in oil tanks and buried his wife in a shallow grave at his work-site.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five life sentences without the possibility of parole, three to be served consecutively and two to be served concurrently.
