Colorado man who killed aunt and uncle found not guily by reason of insanity

A jury has found a man accused of killing his aunt and uncle in the western Colorado town of El Jebel not guilty by reason of insanity. Jurors acquitted 35-year-old Williams Amaya on Friday of two counts of first-degree murder stemming from the July 12, 2014, deaths of 40-year-old Mayra Lopez and her husband, 42-year-old Eliseo Lopez.

Investigators say Amaya told them he killed the couple because they disparaged his family, who he said consisted of Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and John McCain.
