Walterboro, SC: Man pleads guilty to beating woman to death

WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina man has been sentenced to 36 years in prison in the beating death of his ex-girlfriend's mother last year.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that 35-year-old Haskell Frasier III of Walterboro pleaded guilty during his murder trial Thursday.

Frasier also pleaded guilty to first degree burglary and grand theft. He had faced a possible life prison term.

Forty-seven-year-old Brenda Bailey was killed in her home on Sept. 12, 2008.

Authorities say Frasier wrapped Bailey's body in a blanket and dumped it in a road before he wrecked her car.
