The Colorado man convicted of killing his pregnant wife and two young daughters has been moved to a prison out of state, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Chris Watts was sentenced last month to life without parole for the murders of his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts, 34, and their daughters Celeste, 3 and Bella, 4.
"We will not disclose his location for safety and security reasons," Colorado Department of Corrections spokesman Mark Fairbairn told ABC News via email on Tuesday.
"The victims and District Attorney have been notified," Fairbairn added.

At his sentencing this month, prosecutors said both daughters died from smothering.
"Imagine the horror in Bella's mind as her father took her last breaths away," Weld County District Attorney Michael Rourke said at sentencing, adding that "Bella fought back for her life."
