70-year-old woman, boyfriend convicted in husband’s death

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - A 70-year-old woman and her 50-year-old boyfriend were convicted of killing the woman’s husband at their home.

Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy tells local media outlets that Larlane Pannell-Brown and Hussain Ali Zadeh were both convicted of second-degree murder on Monday.

The two were convicted of beating 73-year-old Cecil Brown at his Takoma Park home in August 2014.

McCarthy says texts between Pannell-Brown and Zadeh and some 30 hotel receipts helped prosecutors build a case against the two.

Pannell-Brown and Zadeh each face a maximum of 30 years in prison at sentencing on July 25.
