Associated Press - February 24, 2010 7:44 AM ET

WINFIELD, Kan. (AP) - A south-central Kansas man has been sentenced to nearly 24 years in jail for the choking death of his girlfriend.

David Webster was sentenced Monday in Cowley County Court for second-degree intentional murder. He was convicted in January in the death of 46-year-old Lenora Diane Chambers.

She disappeared last March from her Winfield home. Webster reported her missing but later admitted to investigators that he had choked Chambers after an argument. He said he threw her body from a bridge about 14 miles east of Winfield.
