(AP)--An Atchison man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison in the beating death of a St. Joseph, Missouri man whose body was found below a cliff.
The St. Joseph News Press reports 50-year-old Timothy Osborne was sentenced Friday in a Buchanan County courtroom in the April 2014 death of 57-year-old William Howard Paige.
Osborne pleaded guilty in May to a charge of voluntary manslaughter.
St. Joseph police said the investigation showed Paige was killed during a dispute. An autopsy found that Paige died of blunt force trauma to the head.
Authorities found Paige’s decomposed body in May 2014 near the bottom of a park’s lookout area.
