Accused killer of 2 Boston doctors was 'lurking' outside their luxury condo building: prosecutor
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A former doorman of a luxury condo building where two Boston doctors lived was "waiting, looking and lurking" outside before he entered their apartment, handcuffed them and killed them, a jury heard Thursday.
Bampumim Teixeira, 32, went on trial Thursday for the murders of Dr. Richard Field and Dr. Lina Bolanos in their South Boston penthouse two years ago. They were engaged to be married at the time.
Teixeria once worked in the building as a doorman, prosecutors said. He was released from prison before the murders after serving time for bank robbery.

“You will hear evidence during the course of this trial and I will prove to you that Teixeira was waiting, looking and lurking” outside the building, prosecutor John Pappas told the jury in an opening statement, according to WBZ-TV.

"Although the why to this story may never be fully explained to your satisfaction, the who will absolutely never be in doubt," Pappas said, the station reported.

Defense attorney Steven Sack told the jury there is no evidence tying Teixeira, who was born in Guinea-Bissau in West Africa and raised in Cape Verde, to the crime.
"No video, no audio, no scientific evidence, no credible evidence will tell you that Bampumim Teixeira broke into the home of Lina Bolanos and Richard Field and murdered them," Sack said,
