WOBURN, Mass. -- Prosecutors are expected to rest their case today in the trial of a British man accused of killing his wife and their 9-months-old daughter.

Prosecutors have alleged that Neil Entwistle used a computer to research methods of suicide three days before the January 2006 killings of 27-year-old Rachel and their daughter, Lillian Rose.

They also have depicted Entwistle as a man who was obsessed with sex and searching the Internet for ways to meet women before and after the killings in their Hopkinton home.

The 29-year-old Entwistle has pleaded not guilty.

On Friday, he repeatedly denies killing the victims in a two-hour interview with state trooper played for jurors at his murder trial.
