PORT GIBSON, Miss. (AP) - A Port Gibson man has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2011 slaying of his girlfriend.
Prosecutors tell the Vicksburg Post (http://bit.ly/zlbtjd) that 41-year-old Dexter Watson was convicted of murder this past week in Claiborne County in the death of 35-year-old Patricia Dotson.
Circuit Judge Lamar Pickard sentenced Watson to life with the possibility of parole when he turns 65.
Prosecutors say Dotson's body was found behind First Baptist Church in March. An autopsy showed she had been stabbed in the face and trauma to the head.
Authorities say Watson and Dotson had an ongoing relationship and were living in a homeless shelter at the time of her death.
