OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 36-year-old man accused of killing someone whose dismembered body was found in a ravine north of Omaha has been convicted of manslaughter.

Online court records say John Moniz on Monday pleaded no contest to manslaughter and to being a habitual criminal. Prosecutors reduced the original charge of first-degree murder in exchange for Moniz’s pleas. Prosecutors say Moniz killed 52-year-old Delbert Freemont Jr., whose torso, arms and legs were found Dec. 9 in Washington County.

Authorities found blood spatters on the ceiling and walls of Freemont’s home, and tests confirmed the blood belonged to Freemont. Moniz and his girlfriend had been living with Freemont until shortly before his death.

Moniz’s sentencing is scheduled for April 8.
