BySEATTLE — A man accused of killing 56-year-old Mavis Kindness Nelson was sentenced to 34 years in prison on Friday.

Nelson was first reported missing in April 2022. According to charging documents, Becker killed the mother of three, stored her body in his home, dismembered it, and then threw it away.This isn’t the first death Becker has been charged with. In 2015, he was convicted of second-degree manslaughter in the death of his 4-month-old son.
