OSBORNE TIMOTHY VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
A Kansas man has been sentenced to spend 15 years behind bars in the beating death of William Howard Paige in 2014.
Timothy D. Osborne, 50, of Atchison was sentenced Friday to serve 15 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections for a Class B. Felony of Voluntary Manslaughter in connection with the death of Paige. That’s the maximum penalty.
Paige was reported missing by family members which led to the St. Joseph Police Department to investigate and discover his partially decomposed body on May 15, 2014 in the wooded area surrounding Wyeth Hill in St. Joseph.
According to court documents witnesses reported that on or around the evening of April 18th, 2014 Osborne and Paige got into an argument and Osborne allegedly struck Paige multiple times.
It wasn’t until March of this year that a charge was filed against Osborne and an arrest was made. In May, he pleaded guilty to the charge.
