Man gets life sentence in slaying case

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) – A judge has sentenced a man to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 20 years in a kidnapping and slaying case out of central Kentucky.

The News Enterprise (http://bit.ly/1KZsmhC) reports Hardin Circuit Court Judge Ken Howard sentenced 26-year-old Octavio Correa on Tuesday according to terms reached in plea agreement.

Correa and Tiffany Hodges were charged in the death last year of 47-year-old Saul Alvarado Flores of Munfordville, whose body was found in his car.

Correa, who had been facing the death penalty, pleaded guilty in September to complicity to murder and complicity to kidnapping.

Hodges, who is 32, has also pleaded guilty to complicity to murder and complicity to kidnapping, but she hasn’t been sentenced yet.
