BOISE, Idaho—Jury deliberations began Wednesday in the case of an Idaho man charged with murdering his wife and his girlfriend’s two youngest children in what prosecutors said was a callous scheme for money, power, and sex.

“Three dead bodies...and for what?” prosecutor Lindsey Blake told jurors in the trial of Chad Daybell. “Money, power and sex—that’s what the defendant cared about.”
