New Bedford gang member Carmelo Kercado was sentenced to life in prison for the execution-style murders of Stephen Bodden and Fabio Tavares in the city in 2017.

A New Bedford man charged with a double homicide in the city has been ordered held without bail following his arraignment in Fall River Superior Court.

Prosecutors say Kercado committed October murders in New Bedford to prevent retaliation for a previous murder, to which he is believed to be connected.

The man charged with New Bedford's seventh and eighth murders of the year has been ordered held without bail.
