OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 34-year-old man accused of stabbing his wife in the neck with a butcher knife has been sentenced to 71 to 95 years in prison in Omaha.

Donnell Thomas was sentenced Monday. He had been found guilty of attempted murder and terroristic threats.

Prosecutors say Thomas attacked his wife in their home during a confrontation in January before fleeing the scene. The victim was transported to a hospital and survived.

Authorities also say Thomas threatened his wife’s 15-year-old niece who lived with them.
