A New Jersey man was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders of his brother and his brother's family in their Colts Neck home in 2018.

Paul Caneiro was convicted of killing his brother and his brother's family at their upscale mansion in Colts Neck, New Jersey. The crime occurred in 2018 and involved multiple victims from the same family.

During sentencing, the judge characterized the killings as both "brutal" and "calculated," indicating the premeditated nature of the crimes. The case involved a family murder that took place at a residence in the affluent Colts Neck area.

Caneiro, who worked in the technology sector, was found guilty of the multiple homicides following his trial. The sentencing hearing concluded with the maximum penalty of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

The 2018 murders shocked the Colts Neck community, where the victims' family resided in an upscale neighborhood. The case proceeded through the court system over several years before reaching Tuesday's sentencing hearing.
