WOBURN, Mass. — Neil Entwistle’s mother-in-law is the first witness in the trial of the British man, who is accused of fatally shooting his wife and baby.

Priscilla Matterazzo testified today that his daughter and son-in-law appeared to have a loving relationship. She described being shocked and upset when police told her that her daughter and granddaughter had been fatally shot.

Entwistle is charged with the 2006 murders of his 27-year-old wife, Rachel, and 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose, in their Hopkinton home.

Earlier today, Assistant District Attorney Michael Fabbri said in his opening statement that Entwistle visited Web sites to look for sex and to sites about killing and suicide before the deaths.

Entwistle’s attorney repeatedly told the jury that Entwistle loved his family.
