A Hickory man was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences Friday, prosecutors said, after he was convicted of fatally shooting his estranged wife and another man in 2008.
After a four-day trial in Caldwell County Superior Court, Barney Adrian Dunlap, 50, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before delivering the verdict, prosecutors said.
In the early hours of May 9, 2008, Dunlap walked up to a police officer parked in downtown Lenoir and said he had just killed his wife and the man he said was her boyfriend, police said in 2008.
When they arrived at Roslyn Fox Dunlap's home, officers found 32-year-old Gerald Keith Lakey of Bremerton, Wash., dead from shotgun wounds. Roslyn Dunlap, 45, had also been shot. She died the next day.
The Dunlaps had recently separated, police said at the time of the shooting.
