A man who suffocated his wife and dumped her body on a freeway in East Los Angeles has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Thirty-nine-year-old Angel Cerna was sentenced Monday in Orange County. He was convicted last week of first-degree murder.
Prosecutors say he killed Gabriella Herrera in November of 2006 after an argument at their Anaheim home. He drove her body into Los Angeles County and dumped it along State Route 60, then went to work.
The woman's two children by previous relationships woke to discover their mother gone.
Prosecutors say two days after the killing, Cerna moved out of the home without telling anyone and quit his job.
Cerna was living in Santa Ana when he was arrested in 2007.
