CARMEL, N.Y. — A suburban New York man has been sentenced to three to nine years in prison for the poisoning death of his wife.
Michael E. Kovacs of Lake Carmel was sentenced this week in Putnam County Court.
According to the Journal News (http://lohud.us/rMaE53 ), police said Kovacs slipped a substance into soft drinks that he served his wife last June.
Doctors determined Josephine Kovacs died of methanol poisoning. The substance is often found in antifreeze and solvents.
Michael Kovacs pleaded guilty to manslaughter in exchange for the sentence.
