Three members of a reported “master-slave” sex cult were convicted Wednesday of murdering a young Marine wife from Fallbrook.

Former Marine Staff Sgt. Louis Perez, 49, Dorothy Grace Maraglino, 40, and Jessica Lynn Lopez, 28, were convicted of torturing and murdering Brittany Killgore, 22.

A jury in the San Diego County Superior Court in Vista deliberated for three days before finding all three guilty of first-degree murder.

Each defendant had an attorney, and each attorney asserted his client was not present during the killing. Now, each of the three faces a possible life sentence when sentenced Nov. 19.
