Entwistle breaks into tears as jury sees video of bodies

WOBURN, Mass. -- The British man accused of shooting to death his wife and infant daughter broke into tears during his trial as prosecutors showed jurors a videotape of the bodies.

Neil Entwistle covered his mouth and his eyes in court Thursday during the 20-minute tape. The video, taken by State Police investigators, showed his wife, Rachel, and their 9-month-old daughter Lillian Rose dead in the couple's bed in their rented home in Hopkinton.

Classical music still playing in the baby's nearby bedroom could be heard in the background.

Prosecutors allege Entwistle killed his wife and child in January 2006 because he was deep in debt and dissatisfied with his sex life. He was arrested weeks later at his parents home in England.
