Voodoo killer gets 28 years in prison

A man who built a voodoo shrine using his ex-girlfriend's underwear, then killed her mother and a dog and slashed her cousin, was sentenced Thursday to 28 years to life in prison.

Pierre Carrenard was sentenced to consecutive terms of 25 years to life for killing the woman, two years for killing the dog and one year for assaulting the 16-year-old girl on August 9, 2005, prosecutor Charles Hynes said.

The ex-girlfriend, Francois MacDaly, told police Carrenard, 36, harassed her after she broke up with him. On the day of the crimes, she said, Carrenard called her at work and threatened her mother, Esperance Labidou, a Haitian immigrant who worked at a bus company.

Carrenard testified in court that he believed Labidou had turned her daughter against him.
