Woman testifies that Entwistle was loving father

WOBURN, Mass. -- A "welcoming lady" for the town of Hopkinton, Mass., recalls the British man accused of killing his wife and baby girl as a loving, attentive father who "absolutely beamed" every time he looked as his daughter.

Pamela Jackson testified today in the trial of Neil Entwistle, who is accused of fatally shooting his 27-year-old wife, Rachel, and 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose, at their Hopkinton home in January 2006.

Jackson's testimony brought Neil Entwistle's mother, Yvonne, to tears. She was led out of the courtroom by Entwistle's father, Clifford.

Jackson welcomes new people into the town and said she visited the Entwistles five days before the killings. She said Neil Entwistle asked about town activities for his wife and daughter and seemed devoted to both.
