DALLAS (AP) – A suburban Dallas man who eluded arrest for more than 12 years after being accused of shooting his two teenage daughters in 2008 has been convicted in their deaths. Jurors on Tuesday found Yaser Said, 65, guilty of capital murder in the deaths of Amina Said, 18, and Sarah Said, 17. He will receive an automatic life sentence. Prosecutor Lauren Black said Said was “obsessed with possession and control”. The sisters were found shot to death in a taxi near a Dallas-area hotel on New Year’s Day 2008. About a week earlier, they and their mother fled their home in the Dallas suburb of Lewisville to escape Said.
