A jury in Contra Costa convicted 41-year-old Phuc Vo of murdering his wife, Tho Ly, and mother-in-law, Que Tran, after a brief deliberation. He was found guilty of first-degree murder for Tran's death and second-degree murder for Ly's. Prosecutors argued that Vo killed Ly during an argument over finances and later killed Tran, hiding their bodies afterward. Despite searching for the women, Vo took measures to conceal the crimes and later traveled to Vietnam to meet another woman, raising suspicions about his involvement in their disappearances.
Phuc Vo was convicted of first-degree murder for killing his mother-in-law and second-degree murder for his wife, making him eligible for life without parole.
The prosecution accused Vo of disposing of his wife and mother's bodies in the Oakland estuary, while he went to Vietnam to meet another woman.
