ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - A man convicted in a northwest Missouri stabbing death has been charged with attempting to escape from prison.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports that the escape charge was filed this week against 25-year-old Sean Liechti, of St. Joseph. The probable cause statement says Liechti and another man forcefully exited their cell at the Western Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in St. Joseph on Dec. 30. They are accused of trying to assault a prison guard as they made their way into a recreation area, where they were captured.
Liechti was among three convicted in the stabbing death of Richard Berry last April. The 28-year-old’s body was found in the Third Fork of the Platte River near Easton.
Liechti was sentenced in October to ten years in prison on a charge of second-degree murder for his role in Berry's death.
