Sentenced: Teen Who Murdered 98YO Woman Raped Corpse Will Be Eligible For Parole In 2043

[Sugar Cookie]

A local teenager was sentenced to life in prison without the eligibility of parole for the brutal murder of an 98-year-old Wadsworth woman.

Gavon Ramsay, 17, was charged with aggravated murder, two counts of murder, one count of aggravated burglary, one count of kidnapping and one count of gross abuse of a corpse in connection for the April 2018 murder of Margaret Douglas.

Douglas was discovered in a closet of her Wadsworth home after she had been reported missing. Investigators determined she had been strangled, her body concealed in a pile of clothing.

During sentencing, Medina County Common Pleas Judge Joyce Kimbler ruled the teen was corrupt beyond redemption and unfit to reenter society.

Detectives identified Ramsay as a suspect after searching his phone in an unrelated matter. Pictures of Douglas sleeping on her couch were discovered on Ramsay’s phone.

Medina County Prosecutor S. Forrest Thompson, in an interview with Fox 8 News, said Ramsay, who was a neighbor of Douglas’, entered her home through an unlocked back door with only one intention, and that was to kill her.

Thompson said the phone records suggest he was in the house for as long as two hours. DNA evidence on a glove found outside of Ramsay’s home connected him to the crime.

A red wallet that was taken from Douglas’ home was also discovered in Ramsay’s bedroom. Thompson also confirmed that Ramsay had been writing in a journal for months before the murder, describing fantasies about killing and strangling people.

“There was a clear indication, at one point, at the initiation of the videoing, that she was still alive. There were later videos when she was deceased.” said Thompson during the November interview, after Ramsay entered a no contest plea to the charges.

I listened to the sentencing phase of the trial and this young man really would be a danger to society.

His defense was that Zoloft cause him to kill the woman.

Can we start a fund to send this judge some flowers or something!

it is tragic that a woman lost her life to a seriously sick individual.

His incarceration will ensure that the public will be safe since no one can guarentee that he is not a danger I think the sentence is justified.

 

[JackBurton]

It is heartwarming to read such a righteous sentence. More teens need to be put away forever.

His defense was that Zoloft cause him to kill the woman.

Huh.

Zoloft, AKA Sertraline, has never made me videotape an old woman sleeping on her couch or made me strangle her then stuff her corpse in a closet. It hasn't made me keep a journal for months about killing people either.

That poor woman! Imagine living to the ripe old age of 98 and have it end by being strangled by a pimple faced psychopath. Horrible.
