A Provo man who strangled his father and hid the body in a freezer was sentenced Tuesday to spend possibly the rest of his life in prison.
Omar Carmona admitted in December that he “choked out” his father, 57-year-old Marco Carmona, during an argument on June 8, 2016.
The 29-year-old man pleaded guilty — but mentally ill — to second-degree felony manslaughter and a first-degree felony charge of aggravated robbery, for taking cash out of his father’s wallet after he killed him.
Defense attorney Dustin Parmley asked a judge Tuesday that his client be ordered to be in the custody of state health managers for more treatment before going to prison.
