BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Jurors have found a south-central Kentucky man guilty of kidnapping and murder in the death of his girlfriend four years ago.
The Daily News of Bowling Green reports a Warren County jury deliberated for five hours on Thursday before convicting 50-year-old Lawrence Robert Stinnett on both counts in the beating death of 29-year-old Christina Renshaw.

Renshaw was found dead Feb. 3, 2006 by Bowling Green police officers, who went to her apartment to investigate a domestic violence call.
Stinnett acted as lead counsel in his own defense during the trial after having conflicts with his attorneys over strategy.
