SEATTLE — An Arlington man has been convicted in the beating and stabbing of his fiancee in 2001, partly because of a reused engagement ring.
Part of the evidence against 38-year-old Sione Lui was the engagement ring he gave 27-year-old Elaina Negron-Boussiacos before she died. Her body was found in the trunk of her car outside a Woodinville health club on Feb. 9, 2001.
Last year investigators determined that Lui’s wife was wearing the ring. She said that as far as she knew, it had come from a pawnshop.
She bent over sobbing Thursday as a jury in Seattle convicted Lui of second-degree murder.
Friends say Boussiacos had told them she was ending her engagement to Lui because she caught him having an affair.
Lui faces 10 to 18 years in prison when he is sentenced on June 3.
