ORLANDO, Fla. -- A central Florida man has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for strangling his girlfriend with her bra.
A judge sentenced 38-year-old Abdullah Aziz Khalig on Monday. He pleaded guilty last week to second-degree murder. He had initially been charged with first-degree murder.
Authorities say Khalig's girlfriend, 49-year-old Lolitta L. Flores, was found strangled at her Orlando apartment in March 2009. She had last been seen a few weeks earlier, and police found the body after receiving a tip from a friend of Khalig.
When Flores was killed, Khalig had just completed a sentence for an earlier attack on her.
