A Virginia man learned his fate this week for beating, stabbing and setting fire to a mother of two he mistakenly thought was his ex-girlfriend in whose apartment she had been temporarily staying.

Richard Montano, 48, received two consecutive life sentences for the 2022 killing of Silvia “Kelly” Vaca Abacay, 40. He was convicted in October of first-degree murder and arson of an occupied dwelling.
