COOKEVILLE — A man accused in the 2006 murder of a prison nurse and her 4-year-old daughter has been sentenced to life without parole.
Huston Lloyd of Kingston Springs pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree murder and felony murder and was given two consecutive life sentences. Lloyd admitted to gunning down 27-year-old Kimberly Wyatt and her daughter Sarah in a church parking lot in Cumberland County.
Witness Alexander Bosland testified earlier that Lloyd and Wyatt were romantically involved and that she told Lloyd on the day of the shooting that she was going back to her ex-husband. Bosland later saw the shootings.
WBIR-TV said prosecutors considered seeking the death penalty, but the plea deal will keep Lloyd in prison for the rest of his life.
