Entwistle jury hears testimony from target shooter

WOBURN, Mass. -- The trial of a British man accused in the fatal shootings of his wife and baby daughter is continuing with testimony from a man who went target shooting with the defendant.

Neil Entwistle is charged with killing his wife, 27-year-old Rachel Entwistle, and their 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose, in their Hopkinton home.

Today Entwistle's defense attorneys cross-examined Rachel Entwistle's uncle, Lloyd Cooke.

Cooke testified Friday that he and Rachel Entwistle's stepfather, Joe Matterazzo, went target shooting with Neil Entwistle twice in the months before the killings.

Prosecutors claim Entwistle took Matterazzo's .22-caliber handgun out of a locked gun case to kill his wife and daughter, then drove from Hopkinton to the Matterazzo home in Carver to return it.
