Man convicted in love triangle slayings

WOBURN, Mass. -- A jury has convicted a N.H. man in the 2006 slayings of his ex-lover's husband and another man at a Wakefield business.

A Middlesex Superior Court jury found Sean Fitzpatrick guilty of murder Thursday after deliberating for more than a week.

Fitzpatrick was accused of fatally shooting 39-year-old Michael Zammitti Jr. after Zammitti's wife ended their relationship. Zammitti was the owner of Allstate Concrete Pumping.

Prosecutors said 54-year-old Chester Roberts, an employee of the company, was shot when he arrived at work right after Fitzpatrick shot Zammitti.

A mistrial was declared during Fitzpatrick's first trial in August after another jury said it was hopelessly deadlocked.

Fitzpatrick claimed he was asleep at his home in Freedom, N.H., at the time of the killings.
