SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A man who killed a woman in March 2020 and left her nude body on a road in Mead, Washington, pleaded guilty in court to second-degree murder and second-degree assault.

The Spokesman-Review reports the sentencing will be in October, but the Spokane County Superior Court prosecutor recommended 29-year-old Robert F. Mead get 16 years in jail with three years of community custody.

The maximum sentence for second-degree murder is life in prison with a $50,000 fine.

For second-degree assault, the maximum sentence is 10 years and a $20,000 fine.

Mead was arrested on suspicion of murder in March 2020.
