A jury has reached a verdict in a murder trial in Mercer County.

Twenty-two-year-old Krystal Weaver of Fowler was found guilty on all counts for the murder of Thomas Lorigan and the stabbing of his daughter Heather. Prosecutors say the incident happened in the woman's Greenville area apartment in front of her young children. A second suspect in the case, 21-year-old Ronald Machado of Jamestown, killed himself last year in his jail cell.

Weaver is to be sentenced Friday afternoon. Her conviction carries a mandatory life prison sentence.
