AFP - A US man imprisoned for killing his mother-in-law can look forward to a life of ease thanks to a tidy inheritance -- from his victim, a report said Monday.

Brandon Palladino, a 24-year-old heroin addict, is doing 25 years minus time served after killing his in-law during an attempted jewelry theft, The New York Post reported.

But in a twist of fate, he stands to enjoy at least a quarter of a million dollars in assets that the victim left to Palladino's wife, who has also since died, leaving everything to her imprisoned husband.

"It's an outrage. He can't have that money -- it's just not right," the sister of the deceased woman was quoted as saying.
