2 Men Convicted of Chae Murder

Page and Latham found guilty of second-degree murder

A jury in suburban Philadelphia has convicted two men in the death of businessman during a home invasion.

Joseph Page and Amatadi Latham were found guilty of second-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence.

Authorities say 58-year-old Robert Chae suffocated after he was left bound with duct tape in the garage of his Montgomery Township home, while robbers forced his wife to open a safe.

Chae's nephew, Angelo Shin, later admitted he helped plan the January 2009 robbery. Shin and two others pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and testified for prosecutors.

Montgomery County jurors on Friday also acquitted a third man, Karre Pitts, of all charges.

DNA evidence and phone records connected Page and Latham to thescene, but not Pitts.
