NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York man was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison on Wednesday for his part in a brutal 1997 home invasion in which a woman was burned alive and a man tortured with an iron, the Manhattan District Attorney's office said. Daniel Santana, 35, a fugitive for 11 years, was convicted of murder with "depraved indifference to human life" and kidnapping charges on June 13. "The facts of this case are truly chilling," District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement. "A woman was burned alive, individuals were tortured, and the perpetrators of this heinous crime were at large for more than a decade. Pandora Charms On Sale

Three people inside were tied up with wire hangers, and a man was tortured with a hot iron and shocked with electricity. Another victim, Carmen Maria, had acetone poured down her pants by a co-defendant, Rafael Perez, and was set on fire. She died eight hours later with burn injuries over nearly all her body.
