A Connecticut man who was convicted of killing and dismembering his college student girlfriend has been sentenced to 60 years in prison.
Jermaine Richards was convicted for the murder of Alyssiah Wiley, a 20-year-old Eastern Connecticut State University student.
Her remains were found in a wooded area of Trumbull, about a month after she disappeared after being seen with Richards outside her Willimantic dorm in April 2013.
Richards was convicted during the third trial after the first two ended with deadlocked juries.
Richards denies killing Wiley and his lawyers pointed to the lack of physical evidence showing where or how she died.
He was sentenced Friday.
Wiley's family and friends testified Richards was jealous, possessive and had been physically violent with her. They told the jury she had planned to end their relationship.
