Man Given Additional Prison Time After Admitting To 3rd NYC Killing

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) - A man already serving time for two New York City strangulation slayings three decades ago has been sentenced for a third killing.

The Bronx district attorney's office announced Monday that another 15 years to life in prison has been added to Jesus Aguilera's sentence.

He pleaded guilty earlier this month to second-degree murder in the death of Tolila Brown.

The mother of four was found dead in November 1981. She had been strangled with a scarf that was tightened with a chisel. Her hands and feet were bound and her partially-clothed body was left in a shack.

Aguilera previously was convicted of the strangulation deaths of a man in the Bronx and a woman in Manhattan.

A 15-year-old girl was choked and raped in the Bronx, but survived.
