A man has been sentenced to 30 to 60 years for the beating death of his girlfriend in south-central Pennsylvania in November 2008.
Thirty-year-old Kenneth Brown Jr. pleaded guilty in Lancaster County Court on Friday to third-degree murder and other offenses in the death of 28-year-old Tonya Fetrow. Authorities said Brown beat her on a Lancaster street corner and then dumped her body on along a rural road.
Judge Dennis Reinaker imposed the maximum sentence, calling Brown's actions "barbaric." Brown apologized to the judge and to weeping relatives of Fetrow, the mother of his young daughter and another child. He also pleaded guilty to theft, abuse of a corpse, false imprisonment, fleeing and tampering with evidence.
Defense attorney David Blanck said his client was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
