A man accused of murdering his girlfriend and dismembering her body was found guilty of murder and abuse of a corpse Wednesday.
Paris Charles is accused of killing Goldia Massey at his home back in October of 2014. Her torso washed up on the banks of the Kentucky River in Jessamine County in December. Her severed arm was found a month earlier in Henry County.
The defense told jurors that while there is proof that someone tried to conceal a death, there is absolutely no proof that Goldia was murdered. Charles’ attorney called him an honorable man.

The prosecution rebutted saying that there was more than enough DNA and cell phone evidence to prove that Charles is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
After finding him guilty, the jury recommended a 35-year sentence for murder and 12 months for dismemberment plus a $500 fine for dismemberment.
