Third Suspect In Death Of Canton Woman Sentenced

The third and final defendant in the death of a Canton woman found severely burned along a Muskingum County road last year was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without parole.22-year-old Katrina Culberson and another woman pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty. Co-defendant LaFonse Dixon was convicted at trial in the death of 29-year-old Celeste Fronsman. Prosecutors say Fronsman was killed because Dixon believed she told authorities that he was a drug dealer.
