Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced that a defendant has pled guilty to the brutal murders of two women in a case that stunned the Spring Valley community, as Monsey Scoop reported.

According to the District Attorney’s Office, Alan Abad, also known as Alina Abad, of Westwood, New Jersey, appeared in Rockland County Court on March 24, 2026, before Judge Kevin F. Russo, where he pled guilty to the full indictment, including one count of Murder in the First Degree and two counts of Murder in the Second Degree.

The defendant is expected to be sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison on June 22, 2026. Prosecutors had recommended the maximum sentence of life without parole.

Authorities say the murders occurred on February 15, 2025, at a residence on Gesner Drive in Spring Valley. Investigators determined that the defendant killed his two aunts, Evelyn Aguilar-Agustin and Anabelly Aguilar, by inflicting severe blunt force trauma. One victim sustained fatal injuries to her head, face, and abdomen, while the second suffered devastating injuries to her head and neck, including cervical spine fractures and brain trauma.

“The defendant brutally and senselessly murdered two women,” Walsh said. “My office will continue to advocate for them and seek the maximum penalty allowed under the law. I offer my sincere condolences to their family and thank my prosecutors and our law enforcement partners for their dedication and professionalism in seeking justice for the victims.”

The investigation was conducted by the Spring Valley Police Department with assistance from the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office.

The case was prosecuted by Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Dominic Crispino, Executive Assistant District Attorney Matthew Martinez, and Supervising Assistant District Attorney Meghan Garvey.
