Chad Daybell given death sentence for killing stepchildren and wife
Chad Daybell, author of Idaho doomsday, has been sentenced to death for the murder of two of his second wife’s children and his first wife.
The unanimous decision was reached by an Idaho jury on June 1, just two days after the 55-year-old was found guilty of killing Lori Vallow Daybell’s daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, and son Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, as well as his first wife Tammy Douglas Daybell, 49.
Chad chose not to make a statement, as reported by NBC News, while the Tammy Douglas Daybell Foundation expressed their gratitude on social media in response to the sentencing.
“We want to express our thanks to everyone involved in the lengthy process that led to this outcome – law enforcement, the prosecution, the media, and all those who followed the trial, prayed for us, and supported us,” the group shared on Facebook. They added, “While the loss of Tammy will always be felt, we take comfort in the belief that we will be reunited with her in the future.”
