A man convicted of killing a pregnant woman and her daughter has been sentenced to death by a suburban Philadelphia jury.

The Intelligencer reports that Bucks County jurors decided Tuesday afternoon that 23-year-old Marcel Johnson of Bristol Township should be executed rather than spend life in prison without possibility of parole.

Johnson was convicted last week in the November 2013 deaths of 22-year-old Ebony Talley and 4-year-old R'Mani Rankins. Johnson was also convicted of third-degree murder in the death of Talley's unborn child.

Prosecutors said Johnson intended to inflict pain on Talley before killing her and her unborn child. Johnson's attorney said his client was a troubled child who was abused by his mother.
