GREENSBURG, Ind. (WISH) - Tasha Parsons, the Greensburg woman who murdered her 12-year-old son in June 2011, has been sentenced to 60 years in prison with no probation, according to Decatur County Criminal Court.

Tasha Parsons faced murder charges after she admitted to beating her son, Devin Parsons, for hours using her hands, feet, belt and a metal tray because he would not tell her where he hid her drugs.

Devin lost consciousness in the middle of the morning Friday, according to the probable cause affidavit. Police were called to the house at 3:25 p.m. Friday.

Parsons told police her boyfriend Waldo Jones also participated in the beating. He denied the accusation, but police later found blood on his and Tasha’s clothes.
