Samuel Velasco Gurrola faces life in prison after he executed the grisly plot with the help of his two siblings in the US town of El Paso in Texas.
Mr Velasco, 41, wanted to kill his wife Ruth Sagredo so she couldn’t testify against him in a sexual assault case, according to CBS News.
He hired a hitman in 2008 to murder Ms Sagredo’s father in Juarez, the city in Mexicowhich shares a border with El Paso, in an attempt to lure her to the funeral.
But that didn’t work and a month later Mr Velasco’s sister-in-law was also found dead in the Mexican city. Ms Sagredo was killed at her sister’s funeral procession.
The jury took just three hours to convict Mr Velasco of seven separate accounts in what prosecutors called an “evil plot”.
