Man gets life in prison in fatal stabbing A man was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for stabbing a 53-year-old woman to death.
Troy Nash was sentenced Thursday in Prince George’s County Circuit Court.
According to Prince George’s prosecutors, he stabbed Vanessa Riddick 65 times, mainly in her face and neck. Riddick was found slain in her Largo apartment in August 2007.
In September 2009, investigators linked Nash to DNA found on a pocket knife left at the crime, prosecutors said.
A jury convicted him of first-degree murder in September.
