A man who admitted to killing and dismembering a Renton mother will spend nearly 28 years in prison.
John R. Carlton, 38, pleaded guilty in October to killing Ingrid Lyne, 40, in April 2016 after they just started dating. Police say Carlton dismembered her body, and Lyne's body parts were found in garbage bags by a Seattle homeowner.
Carlton was sentenced to 27 years and nine months for murder and theft of a motor vehicle.
“Our community was shocked by the senseless murder of Ingrid Lyne,” said King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg in a statement before the sentencing. “We have charged the most serious crimes we could under the law, and now that this defendant has pled guilty, we will be recommending the maximum prison sentence.”
