SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Sioux Falls man pleaded guilty to manslaughter Wednesday in the beating death of his girlfriend last April in their apartment.
In return, prosecutors dismissed nine other charges against 29-year-old Michaele Ashko Shimayil.
Speaking through an interpreter, he told the judge he hit her with a length of PVC pipe but doesn't remember how many times after three or four swings.
