ARLINGTON (1080 KRLD)- A killer is going to prison for decades after pleading guilty to the Arlington murder of Younis Alhassinyani two years ago.

Police learned that Benjamin Delgadillo was one of four men who abducted Alhassinyani at gunpoint. His body was eventually found in a creek in Euless. Before being abducted, the name of Alhassinyani's girlfriend was forcibly tattooed on his neck.

Police accused Delgadillo of being the triggerman in the murder. He entered a guilty plea Wednesday and was sentenced to 50 years.
