A Virginia man involved in an affair with his family’s Brazilian au pair was found guilty Monday of murdering his wife and another man, whom prosecutors say he lured to the house as a fall guy.
Brendan Banfield, a former IRS law enforcement officer, told police that on the morning of Feb. 24, 2023, he came upon Joseph Ryan attacking his wife, Christine Banfield, with a knife. He said he shot Ryan, and then Juliana Magalhães, the au pair, also shot him.
