BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor man convicted in the beating and suffocation of a friend with cerebral palsy will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
A judge imposed a life prison sentence Friday on 37-year-old Peter Tuller, who was convicted of murdering 47-year-old Michael Demmons in June 2006.
Demmons´ body was found hog-tied with plastic trash bags over his head in an apartment he was sharing with a woman described as Tuller´s ex-girlfriend. The state medical examiner testified that Demmons´ skull was fractured more than 10 times and that 15 of his ribs were fractured two to four times each.
Police found Tuller hiding under a bed in the night of the attack.
