DOVER, N.H. — Two men who killed a New Hampshire teenager during a botched robbery were sentenced Tuesday to 30 years to life in prison.
Foster’s Daily Democrat reported that Judge Steven Houran sentenced Zachary Pinette, 19, of Springvale, Maine, and Michael Tatum, 22, of Barrington, New Hampshire, for the murder of 18-year-old Aaron Wilkinson on June 21, 2014.
Pinette and Tatum testified against Tristan Wolusky, 19, of Rochester, who was convicted at trial and faces life without parole.
Prosecutors said the men drove to Wilkinson’s home in Madbury with plans to steal drugs and money. They stabbed him to death and dumped his body in Lebanon, Maine.
Paula Wilkinson said her life “stopped” the day her son was killed. She said there are no words for the pain the family has endured.
