James Schwalm , 40 , was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 20 years Monday .

He pled guilty to the second -degree murder of his wife, 40-year-old Ashley , last June .

Ashley ’s body was found inside a burning SUV that had left a road in Collingwood on Jan. 26, 2023 .

An autopsy found she was not alive at the time of the fire and died from physical trauma to her neck from strangulation.

“I never thought I saw myself capable of these horrendous actions. I despise my actions and am haunted they continue to hurt the people I love and care for the most,” he said. “This path is not one I thought I could ever take but it is where I shamefully and sadly have put and forced others. This is where I need and deserve to be because of my terrible awful actions.”.
