NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — A New Britain man faces sentencing in the killings of two men whose bodies were dumped four years ago in Manchester and Bolton along Interstate 384.
Thirty-three-year-old Jokshan Bryant is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday in New Britain Superior Court. He faced capital felony and murder charges, but pleaded guilty in April to two counts of first-degree manslaughter with a firearm. Each count carries five to 40 years in prison.
Bryant was convicted in the killings of 42-year-old Ronald Brown of Bristol and 37-year-old Eric Kimberly of Torrington. Police said Bryant and Brown were dating the same woman. The two victims were killed in Bristol and their bodies dumped off I-384 in June 2008.
Another man, Steven Manocchio of Bristol, awaits trial on murder charges.
