An Arvada man will spend the rest of his life in prison for smashing his ex-wife’s skull with a wine bottle and then strangling her.
Daryll Glenn Brown, 46, was sentenced Wednesday in Jefferson County District Court to life in prison without parole, according to the district attorney’s office. He was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and burglary.
Daryll and Alisha Brown had recently finalized a quarrelsome divorce, citing parenting issues with their son, of whom they shared custody. On Dec. 31, 2009, Alisha Brown, 31, was found dead in her home, where she lived with their 4-year-old son. Daryll Brown used a key to sneak into his ex-wife’s house late the night of Dec. 29, 2009, or early the next morning. While his ex-wife was sleeping, Brown smashed her skull and then strangled her.
