Man wanted for Worcester double murder convicted of killing his wife 20 years ago – Boston 25 News

WORCESTER, Massachusetts — There is still no trace of 59-year-old William Rodriguez, the man wanted in connection with the suspected murder of two women in a Worcester apartment last weekend.

76-year-old Sergia Acosta and her 58-year-old daughter Ana Maria Martinez were found stabbed to death in Sergia's apartment on Saturday.

William Rodriquez was in a relationship with Ana Maria for about a year.

The police can't find him.

But as court documents show, police found a note in his apartment written in Spanish that read: “Women who make mistakes get what they deserve.”

“All I think about is my grandmother, my aunt and that man: where is he? I wake up and I don't think about anything else. I go to sleep and I don't think about anything else. I have nightmares about it,” says Genesis Berrios, the granddaughter of murder victim Sergia.

The murders of Sergia Costa and Ana Maria Martinez occurred twenty years after William Rodrigues was arrested for the stabbing murder of his wife, Carmen Rodriguez.

Court records show he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter and served 15 years in prison before being released in 2019.

Genesis Berrios says her family knew nothing about William Rodriguez's wife's death or his criminal past.

“The fact that this man was able to go free after only 15 years for his crimes. Because now he has just hurt another family. How many more families does he have to hurt to keep him there?” Berrios said.

There is an arrest warrant for William Rodriguez.

He is wanted for two counts of armed assault with murder.
