a jury recommended the death penalty for a man convicted of murdering a business rival and three members of her family. Pravin "Peter" Govin, 35, was due back in Superior Court on June 13 for formal sentencing.
He was found guilty last week of murder in the May 2002 slayings of Gita Kumar, 42; son, Paras, 18; daughter, Tulsi, 16; and mother-in-law, Sitaban Patel, 63.
It was the 2nd trial for Govin. On June 4, 2004 (see), jurors deadlocked, but convicted his older brother, Victor Govin, of the same charges and later sentenced him to death.
