A Sellersville man who killed his wife and dismembered her body was sentenced Tuesday to 22-to-44 years in state prison.
Elizabeth Capaldi was reported missing in October. Months later, her remains were discovered in a makeshift grave near Philadelphia International Airport.A Sellersville man who killed his wife and dismembered her body was sentenced Tuesday to 22 to 44 years in state prison.
But Bucks County Judge Charissa J. Liller partially rejected that offer. During Tuesday’s hearing, she sentenced Capaldi to consecutive terms on two of the counts against him, increasing his time behind bars by two years, and she chastised him for holding his wife’s remains “hostage.”“It is appalling to me that after committing such a heinous act, you continued to terrorize Beth Capaldi,” Liller said.
The last person to have reported seeing Elizabeth Capaldi alive was her husband, who told his daughter he hadn’t heard from his wife since Oct. 10. Capaldi also told her that $13,000 was missing from their home.
