DENVER—As a wealthy dentist convicted of killing his wife at the end of an African safari listened in court, her brother vowed on Monday to move her remains to a place that Larry Rudolph would never discover.

Shortly before a judge sentenced Mr. Rudolph to life in prison in the 2016 death of Bianca Rudolph, Vincent Finizio also predicted Mr. Larry Rudolph would “die alone and unmourned” and that his future grandchildren will never know he existed.
