SUMMERVILE - An Ohio man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing and mutilating his girlfriend two years ago on a trip to Florida. <br>
<br>
Hayward Bissell was sentenced Wednesday in Chattooga County, where authorities say the 39-year-old Bissell killed Patricia Ann Booher at a convenience store in January 2000. <br>
<br>
Bissell, formerly of Norwalk, Ohio, was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday and pleaded guilty but mentally ill. <br>

The plea will require Georgia Department of Corrections officials to supervise Bissell's condition, including medication and housing at a prison suitable for his psychiatric care. <br>

Police said Booher, also of Norwalk, had been stabbed numerous times, her eyes gouged and some of her organs partly removed. A hand and leg had also been cut off.
