A man convicted of fatally shooting another man at Kunkel Park in Lemon Grove was sentenced Monday to 40 years to life in state prison.

The court in Assen has sentenced 81-year-old Epko F. to 10 years in prison, matching the prosecution’s recommendation, for killing his 72-year-old wife, Ida. He killed her on 24 August and later disposed of her body in the Noord-Willemskanaal near Tynaarlo during the night. Her body was discovered the following day with a plastic bag placed over her head. During the trial, the man stated that something in him had snapped because his wife no longer wanted to have sex with him.
