An Amish minister will serve 25 years in prison in connection with his wife’s death nine years ago in northwest Missouri.

39-year-old Samuel Borntreger of Kentucky pleaded guilty to a felony for second-degree murder in Harrison County in June for the death of his wife 26-year-old Anna Borntreger.  Borntreger received his sentence to serve 25 years in the Department of Correction Monday.

As we previously reported, court records allege Borntreger went to Kentucky authorities in January and told them he put antifreeze in his wife’s drinks and battery acid in her rectum before her death in late 2006. No foul play was suspected when she died.  At that point in time the couple lived in an Amish community in Harrison County.
