U.S. car salesman sentenced to life<\/p>\n
MANILA (AFP): An American businessman was sentenced to life
\nimprisonment by a Manila court yesterday for the 1993 murder and
\nmutilation of his Filipina girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Mark Stephen Whisenhunt, a car salesman from San Fransisco,
\nCalifornia, was found \"guilty beyond reasonable doubt\" of
\nmurdering and mutilating Elsa Castillo on Sept. 23, 1993, inside
\nhis apartment in suburban Manila.<\/p>\n
The prosecution built its case around the testimony of
\nWhisenhunt's chauffeur, Demetrio Ravelo, who told the court he
\nwas ordered by his boss to load the torso and limbs of the
\nmutilated corpse into his car trunk and to dump them near Santa
\nRosa town, south of Manila.<\/p>\n
The government dropped charges of accessory to murder against
\nRavelo in exchange for his testimony.<\/p>",
