BOSTON -- Prosecutors in the Neil Entwistle murder case are trying to get their hands on the online gambling records of the Hopkinton, Mass., man accused of murdering his wife and daughter two years ago.

The Metrowest Daily News reported that prosecutors were hoping records from a European gambling site will show Entwistle, 28, was dealing with financial stress at the time of the deaths in January 2006.

They have requested the records from the British territory of Gibraltar asking for information on his dealings with the Web site Casino on Net.

The state alleges he lost hundreds of dollars on the site in the month before the the slayings of his wife, Rachel, 27, and daughter Lillian Rose, who was 9 months old.

Entwistle is accused of shooting them to hide a life of gambling, debt and sex. Prosecutors allege he took a gun from his in-laws' Carver, Mass., home and killed them as they lay in bed. They said he then returned the gun and flew to England, where he was later arrested.

He is being held at the Middlesex jail in Cambridge, charged with two counts first-degree murder.

His trial is scheduled to begin June 2 in Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn.
