Walterboro, SC - A South Carolina man has been sentenced to 36 years in prison in the beating death of his ex-girlfriend's mother last year.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that 35-year-old Haskell Frasier III of Walterboro pleaded guilty during his murder trial Thursday.
Frasier also pleaded guilty to first degree burglary and grand theft. He had faced a possible life prison term.
Forty-seven-year-old Brenda Bailey was killed in her home on Sept. 12, 2008.
Authorities say Frasier wrapped Bailey's body in a blanket and dumped it in a road before he wrecked her car.
