Man gets 40-year sentence for dismembering girlfriend

A man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for dismembering his girlfriend with a chain saw and dumping her body parts in bags and boxes behind a Target store in Alabama.

William Lewis Payton, 44, of Huntsville, Alabama, was convicted of corpse abuse after charges for the murder of Tonya Lynn Amerson, 27, were dropped for lack of evidence.

Amerson's dismembered body was found behind a Target store at Huntsville's Valley Bend Shopping Center in October 2015.

Amerson was Payton's girlfriend and the mother of two of his eight children, AL.com reported.

The song---"I fall to Pieces".
