Richard Turner fatally shot 78-year-old Merle Claxton and 77-year-old Freda Claxton inside their home on March 8, 1979 in Apple Valley.
A 65-year-old man convicted of murdering a San Bernardino County couple during a burglary in 1979 has died of natural causes while incarcerated at the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, officials said Monday.
Turner, then 20 of Victorville, fatally shot 78-year-old Merle Claxton and his wife, 77-year-old Freda Claxton, inside their home on March 8, 1979, while under the influence of alcohol and a substance similar to PCP, according to court records and a San Bernardino Sun story from 1979. Turner’s co-defendant, William Souza, then 21 of Stockton, testified in court, stating that the two decided to burglarize a house for food and chose the Claxton house because it appeared that no one was home.
