Update: Man is sentenced in wife's slaying 05/13/2010 (Source: INDYSTAR)
A judge said the detailed planning and brutal nature of a Lawrence woman’s killing figured heavily Wednesday in his decision to sentence her husband to 60 years in prison. Amenda Yang, 43, was killed in May 2009, a month after she filed for divorce from Michael Yang and obtained a protective order. She was strangled and beaten with a bat and garden hoe in their Lawrence home in the 4300 block of Clinton Street. Michael Yang, 53, was convicted of murder and invasion of privacy.
