ANGOLA, Ind. — A northeastern Indiana woman who pleaded guilty to killing her husband by hitting him in the head several times with an ax has been sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Steuben Superior Judge William Fee gave 45-year-old Norma Jean Mote of Angola the minimum term for murder on Monday. Mote agreed to a plea deal last month in which she admitted to killing her husband, Kevin, at the couple's home near Angola.
Police say he was found dead in a second-floor bedroom and the couple's two teenage boys were home at the time of the attack.
Radio station WLKI-FM in Angola reported Norma Jean Mote testified she and her husband had a lot of arguments during a 15-year marriage and she was mad at him for lying about marijuana smoking.
