Woman Sentenced in Deaths of Husband, Step-Daughter

An Arlington woman charged in the fatal shootings of her husband and his 20-year-old daughter has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that 36-year-old Veronica Dunnachie was sentenced Friday. Dunnachie had pleaded guilty to capital murder.

Dunnachie was arrested in December 2014 in the deaths of 50-year-old Russ Dunnachie and Kimberly Dunnachie.

According to court records, the victims were found in Russ Dunnachie's home in Arlington by patrol officers conducting a welfare check. Police said they arrested Veronica Dunnachie at a mental health hospital, where she drove herself after the killings.
