SENTENCE HANDED DOWN IN EHT MURDERS

Yesterday a superior court judge handed down the sentence in the trial of  Nicholas Nigro III. Judge Michael Donio handed down consecutive sentences adding up to 125 years in prison for the double murder of Nigro’s girlfriend Paula Mulder, and her mother Mari Jane Buri, at their home in Egg Harbor Township in 2009.  Nigro confessed to the murders and said he was angry with the way his girlfriend was treating him. Later he said he confessed only to protect family members and claimed his innocence.
