Man, 82, guilty of puppy farm murders
He told police he wanted both women "put down"
John Lowe, 82, from Farnham, had denied two counts of murder and a firearms charge.
During the trial at Guildford Crown Court, Lowe claimed the deaths of Christine Lee, 66, and Lucy Lee, 40, were "a terrible accident".
But jurors heard he told police he wanted both women "put down".
The court heard a frantic 999 call from Lucy Lee, who told the operator: "I don't know if I'm going to be alive if I go back in there. He shot my mum."

But what sort of sentence will he get? It will not bring those poor women back and yet all he apologised for was shooting his dogs?

He was obviously considered to be in full control of his faculties otherwise he would not have stood trial, but - but - I just do not know what to think and tbh would hate to know what was going through his mind before his actions.
