A Virginia man faces life in prison following his conviction on murder charges in the deaths of a West Virginia woman and her son.

Media outlets report that a Berkeley County Circuit Court jury found 36-year-old Antonio Prophet guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson.

The jury didn't recommend mercy. That means the 36-year-old Lorton, Va., man has no chance for parole.

Jurors deliberated about three hours before issuing their verdict Monday afternoon.

Prosecutors say Prophet killed 22-year-old Angela Devonshire and her 3-year-old son, Andre White, and then set their apartment in Bunker Hill on fire in 2010.

Prophet denied the charges in testimony during the trial. He said two armed men killed the victims.

Sentencing is set for Sept. 10.
