BANGOR — The Orono man convicted of luring Nichole Cable to her death by creating a fake Facebook page was sentenced Friday at the Penobscot Judicial Center to 60 years in prison.

A jury of seven men and five women took just 45 minutes on March 6 to find Kyle Dube, 22, of Orono guilty of murder and kidnapping in Cable’s death on May 12, 2013.

Superior Court Justice Ann Murray imposed a sentence of 60 years on the murder charge and a concurrent sentence of 30 years on the kidnapping charge.

“This was an unprovoked, senseless killing,” Murray said in sentencing Dube.

Murray also ordered Dube to pay about $12,000 in restitution toward Cable’s funeral expenses.

Jurors found that Dube lured the 15-year-old girl from her mother’s home in Glenburn and strangled her in an abduction gone wrong.

Cable’s mother tearfully urged the judge to show Dube “no mercy” in imposing a sentence. She asked that her daughter’s killer spend the rest of his life in prison so that he “can’t do this to another mother or daughter.”

Other family members also gave emotional testimony about the impact the murder has had on their lives. Several asked that Dube spend the rest of his life behind bars.

“It is a tragic thing that’s happened and we ask that you take into consideration his age,” Dube’s mother, Tammy Dube, told the judge.

Dube’s friends and other relatives said that he was always helpful. Several said Dube “would give you the shirt off his back.”

None suggested a specific sentence.

Dube faced between 25 years and life in prison on the murder charge. He faced up to 30 years in prison on the kidnapping charge.

Assistant Attorneys General Leane Zainea and Donald Macomber recommended Dube be sentenced to 60 years on the murder charge and an additional 30 years on the kidnapping conviction. The prosecutors also asked Dube pay restitution for Cable’s funeral expenses.

The defense team of Stephen Smith of Augusta and Wendy Hatch of Bangor urged Superior Court Justice Ann Murray to send Dube to prison for 45 years for the murder and a concurrent 20 years for the kidnapping.

Dube turned down a plea offer shortly before going to trial, according to a previously published report. Details of the offer have not been made public.

Smith filed an appeal Friday.

He has been held without bail since his arrest on May 21, 2013. That time will count toward his sentence.

Dube also is facing burglary and theft charges in Penobscot County that have been pending while the Cable case moved forward. Penobscot County District Attorney R. Christopher Almy earlier this week said that he would pursue the charges.

Almy called the allegations serious and said a gun was taken in one burglary.
