Brownsville man gets 25-to-life for killing Staten Island mother of four
Faces more time for another murder
A Brooklyn judge sentenced a Brownsville man 25 years to life in prison for strangling a Staten Island woman to death inside a East Williamsburg hotel.
Joseph Danclair was convicted after a jury trial in October for choking and killing Chrissy Bevelaqua in July 2015 and leaving her for dead inside the Bushwick Hotel in East Williamsburg.
“This is a tragic case in which this defendant preyed on a helpless woman, taking a mother from her four children,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. “Hopefully, today’s sentence will provide some measure of justice for her friends and family.”
