Convicted murderer Chris Watts, serving multiple life sentences for killing his pregnant wife and their two daughters, was court ordered last week to pay US$6 million ($9.3 million) to his wife's parents.
Sandra and Franklin Rzucek, parents of Shannan, filed a civil lawsuit against Watts in November last year - the same day he was sentenced to serve three consecutive life sentences with no parole for the horrific murders of his family, the Daily Mail reported.
In August 2018, Watts strangled his pregnant wife Shanann to death, wrapping her body in a blanket. It woke his daughters Bella, four, and Celeste, three who began to cry after seeing their mother's lifeless body.
Watts dumped her body in the back of his truck, drove it to a remote oil work site and buried her in a shallow grave.
