A Johnstown man who admitted killing a woman in a deli two years ago has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the first degree murder of a woman in his deli.

Georgios Kakavelos was found guilty for first-degree murder of 22-year-old Allyzibeth Lamont.

Lamont was killed on or around Oct. 28, 2019 in Johnstown.

She had worked for Kakavelos at his sub shop and deli.

A jury convicted him in June of hiring another one of his employees, James Duffy, to help him carry out the murder and bury Lamont's body in Malta.

Duffy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for his testimony in the trial against his former boss.

Kakavelos is the first person to be convicted of first-degree murder in Saratoga County since the new statute went into effect.
