William Leverett of Windsor Locks was sentenced to 35 years in prison with an additional 7 years of special parole for killing then 54-year-old Melissa Millan in 2014.
He confessed to the crime nearly four years later at the Simsbury Police Department, surrounded by church members. He was 27 when he confessed.
Millan, a top executive at MassMutual, was jogging on Iron Horse Boulevard in Simsbury in November when Leverett spotted her. He told police during initial interviews he found her attractive and wanted to approach her and then thought he would be rejected. He told police he wanted to "scare her" with the kitchen knife he later used to stab her in the chest.
