Local News in Brief : Moorpark Man Gets Prison Term in Killing
A Moorpark man who killed his roommate was sentenced Monday to 15 years to life in state prison, a Ventura County Superior Court official said.
Thomas Paul Wynn, 23, was convicted of second-degree murder in the beating death in May, 1986, of Robert Lantz, 36, in a non-jury trial before Judge Robert Bradley.
Police found the victim, who had been struck repeatedly on the head with a liquor bottle and a lamp, in a rear bedroom of his home in the 6400 block of Yale Avenue after a co-worker at Devon Industries in Chatsworth said he had missed work two days and had not answered his telephone, Moorpark Police Sgt.
