Kenneth Price, 40, was sentenced this week to life in prison without the possibility of parole after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder for killing his mother.
Linda Price, 67, lived at the Arroyo Villa Apartments complex on Via Petirrojo near Rancho Conejo Road. She worked for 12 years as the manager of the apartments, where she was beaten and strangled on July 26, 2008, by her son, a transient who camped in nearby open space. After she died of asphyxiation, Kenneth Price took his mother’s ATM card and withdrew money from her bank account.
Price was convicted by a jury in November of first-degree murder and found guilty of committing the murder during a robbery. Because of the victim’s age at the time of the murder, the jury also found Price guilty of elder abuse causing death.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Patricia Murphy handed out the sentence.
After her death, Linda Price was remembered by residents and co-workers at the apartment complex as a warm and caring friend who loved her children, her grandchildren, her cat and flowers.
