A father tortured his daughter by shooting her in the legs before throwing her into a freezer where she suffocated to death.
Clarence Butterfield, 57, of Orange County, then stored the body of 21-year-old Rebekah Butterfield in the freezer in a vehicle for two years.
The horrific case is reported in the Los Angeles Times following his conviction this week and he now faces life in prison without parole.
His crime was discovered when he was arrested for obstructing a police officer and his vehicle was seized.
The court heard that Butterfield often beat his wife and forced her to remain in a closet.
