A man was found guilty of murder for stabbing his ex-girlfriend 58 times in a Massachusetts restaurant where she was attending a book club meeting, before being tackled by good Samaritans who subdued him before police arrived, prosecutors said.

After an eight-day trial, Carlos Asencio, 32, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Amanda Dabrowski, 31. The murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr.

A jury also found Asencio guilty of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the injury of one of the good Samaritans who tackled him. Sentencing is scheduled for June 29.

“While no verdict will ever bring Amanda back, we are relieved that a jury found this man responsible for taking her from us,” Dabrowksi’s family said in a statement through the DA’s office, Boston.com reported. “We know he can never harm another person again. The jury helped us find some justice today, though we know there are no real winners.”
