A man who identifies as a woman convicted of murdering a New York City antiques dealer was sentenced Thursday to 22 years-to-life in prison.

This comes just months after being sentenced for a separate grisly killing in Oklahoma, where the victim was decapitated, Fox News reports.

Alex Ray Scott, 28, who began transitioning into a woman while incarcerated, was found guilty of the January 2020 murder of 64-year-old Kenneth Savinski in his Upper East Side apartment. Scott used a decorative plate and kitchen knife to commit the crime.

“Alex Ray Scott will serve a significant prison term for the brutal and senseless murder of Kenneth Savinski – a beloved, friendly person and respected churchgoer,” said Manhattan District Attorney Bragg. “Mr. Savinski’s loss not only devastated his friends and family but shocked his tight-knit community. Although we cannot bring Mr. Savinski back, I hope the resolution of this case offers his loved ones a sense of justice in their ongoing grief.”

Scott had also been sentenced in Oklahoma to 45 years in prison for a separate dismemberment killing of a man with a chainsaw. Scott pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and multiple counts of criminal possession in Savinski’s death.

The two met through a dating app and spent the evening together on January 27, 2020, before heading to Savinski’s apartment, according to the New York Post. Savinski was found with severe wounds to his head and neck, including a slit throat, deep facial lacerations, and a broken hyoid bone. He was covered in blood and was pronounced dead at the scene, prosecutors said.

Following the murder, Scott stole Savinski’s credit cards and claimed to have no memory of the attack, as stated in an indictment. Later, Scott walked into a New York police precinct and confessed to an unrelated killing. Investigators found credit cards belonging to Robin Skocdopole, which led them to check on Skocdopole’s home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, after he was reported missing.

Authorities discovered Skocdopole’s home empty, with bloodstains inside. His remains were found in May 2020 near a creek in Broken Arrow, according to federal prosecutors. Skocdopole had been last seen in August 2019. Scott had been renting a room from him and told others that Skocdopole had suddenly relocated to Dallas for work, in an attempt to cover up his disappearance.

A medical examiner’s report indicated that two different saws were used in Skocdopole’s dismemberment. Upon arrest, Scott agreed to take the FBI to the location of Skocdopole’s head, although no further remains were discovered, according to the Justice Department.
