A Phoenix man was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison this month after prosecutors said he killed his roommate and left the burned body of the Lake Tahoe man in the desert in 2013.

Vrouyr Manoukian, 24, was convicted of negligent homicide and abandonment of body in the death of 24-year-old Matthew McMaster of Stateline. The 740 days Manoukian has spent incarcerated while awaiting trial will count toward his sentence, meaning he will spend about 2 1/2 more years in prison.

Investigators found McMaster’s body in a northwest Phoenix desert in July 2013.

    The only witnesses to the crime were the perps in this case, and their story changed several times, this is how the miscarriage of justice happened. This is a cautionary tale about being very careful with roommates and knowing their background before something bad happens as one of them had a long criminal history.
