WASHINGTON -- The man convicted of killing former federal intern Chandra Levy was sentenced to 60 years in prison Friday in D.C. Superior Court, putting an end to one of Washington's most sensational murder cases.
Ingmar Guandique, 29, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was convicted in November of two counts of first-degree felony murder, one related to Levy's kidnapping and the other related to trying to rob her.
On Friday, Judge Gerald I. Fisher sentenced him to 60 years in prison.
Before the punishment was handed down, Mr. Guandique stood up, paused, wiped his eyes and addressed the Levy family.
"I am sorry for what happened to your daughter," he said. "But I had nothing to do with it. I am innocent."
Ms. Levy's mother also spoke. After she finished her statement, Susan Levy turned again to Mr. Guandique and uttered an expletive at him before sitting down.
