Monica Mogg HACKENSACK--A New York woman faces two life sentences for killing her ex-boyfriend and his then-girlfriend in October 2012, authorities said.
Monica Mogg, 51, was sentenced on Wednesday to two consecutive 75-year prison sentences for killing Arthur Noeldechen, 52, and Lillian Kim, 42, in Kim's River Edge bedroom in 2012, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. Mogg admitted in June that she stalked Noeldechen in the months leading up to the murders. On Oct. 30, 2013, she shot Noeldechen with a .22-caliber rifle and then stabbed Kim with a hunting knife, authorities said.

Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said on Wednesday that he was grateful that the judge imposed two consecutive life sentences.
"The two victims were the subject of a planned and cruel execution with Mogg firing six rounds and then using a knife on her female victim," Molinelli said in a statement provided to NJ Advance Media. "The victims and their families are entitled to justice and to have made them concurrent would have sent the message that neither of them would solely receive their day of justice."
Mogg's attorney, David Goldstein, told The Bergen Record that his client never intended to kill Kim. He said Mogg grabbed the knife during a struggle with Kim.
