British Man Sentenced To Life For Couple's Murder

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A British national convicted of stabbing a woman to death and decapitating her boyfriend at a Los Angeles condominium has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

KNX 1070's Kim Marriner reports that Neil Revill showed no reaction as he was sentenced on Friday.

Prosecutors say Revill, a small-time drug dealer, was high on methamphetamines when he stabbed Kimberly Crayton 19 times and beheaded Arthur Davodian in October 2001. Crayton's 14-month-old baby was found crying in the condo when authorities discovered the couple's bodies in their Tujunga condominium.

Prosecutors say DNA evidence, including Revill's blood found on the toddler's dress, linked him to the killings.

Crayton's mother said she waited more than nine years to confront Revill in court, and said she hoped he will rot in his prison cell.
