A Fayetteville woman who manipulated a 16-year-old boy into killing her husband has been sentenced to at least 10 years in prison.

Christine Lilly King, 67, pleaded guilty Oct. 28 to conspiracy to commit first-degree murder for the fatal shooting April 29, 2021, of her husband, Randy King, 66.

She was arrested in Craven County, two years after her grandson's half brother, Julian Vanmeter, was charged with murder.
