COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) – A Plain City man will spend the rest of his life in prison for what Columbus police called a “particularly brutal murder” in July 2021.

Timothy B. Kendrick , 36, of Plain City, pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in June, and was given life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday.

Columbus police said Kendrick killed Drew Mendelbaum, 30, on July 16, 2021, “by means of striking, kicking, and cutting about (the victim’s) head and neck area repeatedly, then lighting the victim on fire.”

Mendelbaum’s body was found a day later on the 4600 block of Sawmill Road, with police saying Kendrick dumped the body there.

Police said they were able to tie Kendrick to the killing through a video.
