PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) - A Pine Bluff man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing his girlfriend then burning her body and dumping the remains in a bayou.
Thirty-1-year-old Mario Scott pleaded guilty Monday to a reduced charge of capital murder in the death of 26-year-old Kateshia Weathers. Scott had originally been charged with capital murder.
Weathers was last seen May 22, 2007. Her remains have not been found.
Scott is already serving 22 years for beating Weathers in a separate case. His murder sentence won't begin until he completes his current prison term.
