(TERRE HAUTE) - A western Indiana man convicted of killing his estranged wife and dumping her body along a rural road has been sentenced to 60 years in prison.
The Vigo County judge who sentenced 40-year-old Enzert Lewis on Tuesday also ordered mental health treatment for him while he's in prison.
The Tribune-Star reports Lewis' public defenders say he was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia.
A jury convicted Lewis in January of murder, obstruction of justice and altering the scene of a death in the October 2012 killing of 39-year-old Allyson Elmi-Lewis.
Her remains were found the following month along a road in a remote area of eastern Vigo County.
Two witnesses testified that Lewis acknowledged that he killed his wife and hid her body. The murder scene also was scrubbed with bleach.
