(KAIR)--A 42-year-old Leavenworth man, previously convicted of charges related to the killing of a woman and theft of a vehicle, is going to prison.
According to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson,, Terrance George learned his fate Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court, where a judge sentenced him to a total of 20-years of incarceration on the charges of voluntary manslaughter and theft of property.
George, in June, pleaded no contest to both charges.
Court records cited in the release say George, on June 5, 2022, used a knife to stab a man and then drove off in the man's truck before being located later that day and taken into custody.
During the investigation that followed, Leavenworth Police Officers found a woman's body inside of George's apartment, with police learning she died of blunt force trauma.
