Entwistle gave different accounts of reporting slayings

WOBURN, Mass. -- Two friends of a British man accused of killing his wife and baby daughter have testified that he gave them different accounts of his actions after the slayings than what he told police.

Neil Entwistle is accused in the January 2006 fatal shootings of his 27-year-old wife, Rachel, and their 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose.

One of Entwistle's friends from London testified today that Entwistle told him he went to his wife's parents' home to grieve with them after discovering the bodies and then called police.

Another friend said Entwistle told him he called police from his mother-in-law's office to tell them he had found the bodies.

Prosecutors say Entwistle flew home to England the day after the killings without ever calling police. He told police he was so distraught after discovering the bodies that he went to England to be consoled by his parents.
