A Lindenwold man who appealed the life sentenced he received for the stabbing death of his child’s mother ended up with the same sentence on Friday.
Troy Whye, 41, of Lindenwold, was sentenced Friday to a life term, the equivalent of 75 years, for killing 22-year-old Krystal Skinner in March 2008, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said.
The prosecutor’s office tried Whye previously and he was sentenced to life plus seven years in 2011, but appealed the decision in 2013.
The case came back to the prosecutor’s office and in February 2014 a jury came to the same conclusion, the prosecutor’s office said Friday.
Whye must serve 85 percent of that life sentence before he is eligible for parole. The judge also sentenced Whye to an additional 7 years for endangering the welfare of a child.
He was convicted of murder and other numerous weapons offenses in connection with the death of the young mother and Rutgers-Camden student. Authorities said Skinner was trying to end her relationship with Whye, when in the spring of 2008 he stabbed her 30 times in the hallway of her apartment home in Lindenwold.
Their son, John, who was just 2 at the time, was there when Skinner was stabbed and he was left there with her body, police said.
Police said the boy was found sitting next to his mother’s body, stroking her hair.
“Krystal Skinner tried very, very hard to break off her relationship with this individual but he was the penultimate domestic violence offender,” Camden County Assistant Prosecutor Sally Smith said in 2011. “He lived by his credo, ‘If I can’t have you, no one can.’ ”
Skinner’s sister Brittany Skinner, of Pennsauken, spoke during the first hearing in 2011.
“The most devastating part of this entire incident is that this crime has left an innocent boy without his mother,” she said. “Krystal is no longer able to plan a fun day at the zoo or the beach with her son. She will not be there for the milestones in his life such as his first day of school, graduation or his wedding day.”
