JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A woman tied to a deadly kidnapping that began in Louisiana and ended in the city of Jackson will spend the next 40 years behind bars.

On Monday, Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd sentenced a tearful Victoria Cox to 40 years in prison, after she pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder and one count of kidnapping.

Cox will serve 40 years on the murder charge and 25 on the kidnapping charge, with both to serve concurrently.
