SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A man who fatally stomped on a Springfield man’s head has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The Springfield News-Leader reports 37-year-old Edward Andresen pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a deal with prosecutors.
Andresen admitted to killing 40-year-old James Belvin in August 2013. Police found Belvin unconscious with severe facial and head injuries as well as a brain bleed.
Witnesses say Andresen repeatedly kicked, punched and stomped on Belvin’s head. Belvin died a week later from the injuries. It’s unclear what caused the attack.
