Man convicted of dismembering Youngstown woman gets 48 years to life

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -

One of four suspects charged in connection with a scheme to murder and hide the body of a Youngstown woman in a freezer has been sentenced to 48 years to life in prison.

Thirty-three-year-old Arturo Novoa pleaded guilty in May to 47 charges related to the killing of 28-year-old Shannon Graves.

Novoa also pleaded guilty to abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, drug trafficking and possession of criminal tools.
[.....]
Novoa's co-conspirator, 36-year-old Katrina Layton pleaded guilty earlier to obstructing justice and abuse of a corpse after telling prosecutors she would testify against Novoa during his trial.

However, prosecutors have filed a motion to vacate Layton's plea and sentencing agreement, claiming that she lied to investigators. Layton has admitted to witnessing the murder, allowing the victim's body to be dismembered in her garage, and to helping move the body.
[.....]
Investigators say 28-year-old Andrew Herrmann and 27-year-old Michelle Ihlenfeld helped Novoa mutilate and hide Graves' body, as well as burn her belongings.

Herrmann is scheduled to go on trial in July on fourteen charges including multiple charges of tampering with evidence.

No trial date is yet set for his wife on charges of intimidation, obstructing justice, and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

On Thursday the Mahoning County Grand Jury handed up an indictment charging the pair with aggravated drug trafficking.
