A man convicted of killing a couple whose bodies were found in their burned farm home has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. His fiancee was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole as his accomplice. Aron Nichols and Tamara Sorenson, of Fargo, were convicted last month by a jury in Devils Lake. Nichols was convicted of murder and Sorenson was convicted of being his accomplice in the deaths of 70-year-old Donald Willey and his 67-year-old wife, Alice, in April 2007. Sorenson was the mother of the Willeys' 8-year-old granddaughter, and fought them over visitation rights to the child. Authorities said the 29-year-old Nichols shot the Willeys before setting their home on fire near Sykeston.  « Less
