Courtney Bergman and her mother Vicki Bergman both had their throats slit by the mystery-meat creature.

A man who killed his girlfriend and her mother in their Redondo Beach apartment in 2012 was convicted today of two counts of first- degree murder.

Jonathan Scott Chacon, 26, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole for the Feb. 28, 2012, killings, which he claimed were committed in self-defense.

Chacon was arrested the next day in Mexico.

Jonathan Scott Chacon tried to claim he killed them in self defence.

Chacon slit the throats of his girlfriend, 19-year-old Courtney Bergman, and her mother, 59-year-old Vicki Bergman, inside the apartment in the 1900 block of Rockefeller Lane. Prosecutors suggested he killed the pair because he was jealous of his girlfriend’s contacts with another man.

But Chacon insisted the killings were in self-defense, alleging that his girlfriend attacked him with a knife shortly after they had sex in the apartment. He contended that her mother came out of her room and saw him killing Vicki and she tried to grab a knife, so he also killed her.
