A Detroit man has been sentenced to prison for dismembering his roommate's corpse and stashing the remains in a basement freezer.

Prosecutors say 41-year-old Darryl Lewis was sentenced Tuesday in Wayne County Circuit Court to 10 months to 15 years in prison.

The Detroit Free Press reports that the remains of 58-year-old Andrew Hotkowicz were found in September.

The Detroit News reports that Lewis pleaded guilty in January to mutilation of a body. Authorities could not determine how Hotkowicz died. The newspaper says Lewis told police Hotkowicz died of a drug overdose and he cut up the body to avoid being blamed.

The Associated Press left a message Tuesday seeking comment from an attorney representing Lewis at his sentencing.
