Boyfriend Sentenced For Killing Flatbush Woman After Break-Up: DA

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN -- A man convicted of stabbing his girlfriend to death because she tried to kick him out of her Flatbush apartment will spend 22 years in prison, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Arthur Wyche, 55, was sentenced after he pleaded guilty in May to killing 53-year-old Dorina Webster in her home at 135 Amersfort Place the evening of Aug. 31, 2015, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney's office.

Wyche became enraged when Webstrer asked him to pack his things just two weeks after he had moved from Neptune, New Jersey, and into her Flatbush apartment, said prosecutors.

The New Jersey man stabbed Webster repeatedly in the chest and both legs then ran from the home they had shared, prosecutors said.

Webster staggered to the apartment next door, told her neighbor that Wyche had attacked her and begged for help, prosecutors said.

The neighbor called 911 and emergency responders rushed Webster to Kings County Hospital where died in the intensive care unit four days later, according to prosecutors.

Before she died, Webster told friends and investigators that Wyche, whom she had been dating on-and-off for about three years, was the man who stabbed her, prosecutors said.

Detectives arrested Wyche on Sep. 5, two days after Webster died, at a New Jersey bus station where he had just bought a one-way ticket to Philadelphia, said prosecutors.

Investigators found his DNA under Webster's fingernails and later videotaped Wyche admitting he had stabbing his girlfriend when she told him to "pack his belongings and move out," prosecutors said.

Wyche pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Brooklyn Criminal Court in May, court records show.
