Man with mental health history sentenced to more than 2 decades in wife’s slaying with meat cleaver

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont man with a history of mental health issues who was convicted of killing his wife with a meat cleaver and injuring his mother-in-law will serve at least 27 years in prison. “It was an accident,” Aita Gurung said during his two-day sentencing hearing, which concluded Wednesday. “My mind was not working.” A jury convicted Gurung last year of killing his wife, Yogeswari Khadka, 32, in Burlington, and attempted second-degree murder in the attack on his mother-in-law, hours after he had sought mental health treatment at a local hospital. The attacks happened in 2017 and he was charged. But the charges were dropped in 2019 by the county prosecutor, who said evidence showed Gurung was legally insane at the time. Then-Attorney General T.J. Donovan refiled the charges months later after Republican Gov. Phil Scott asked him to review the case. Donovan said he wanted to restore public trust and that the issue of insanity should be decided by a jury.Gurung’...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:21:00 GMT

With the way the Bruins have to play to succeed, relying on defense and goaltending, they are going to be in a lot of tight games. Many of those close contests will go to overtime and the 3-on-3.They need to be a lot better at it than they have been.The B’s are just 2-6 in overtimes, with the last loss coming on Tuesday as they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Minnesota Wild. So it stood to reason that coach Jim Montgomery and his staff dedicated a chunk of Thursday’s practice to some extended 3-on-3 work.What was he looking to instill?“Better puck management, better defensively and just overall a little more urgency,” said Montgomery before the team took off a two-game roadie to Winnipeg and Minnesota. “We’re 2-6 in overtime in 3-on-3, so obviously we’re not near good enough, so we have to get better at it and we have to practice it more.”Losing the puck just once can be fatal.“As soon as you lose possession, you’re playing defense for what could be five ...

A conservative fiscal group called Thursday for broad base tax cuts in 2024, arguing a “very minor” tax package Beacon Hill lawmakers passed earlier this year is not enough to keep Massachusetts competitive with the rest of the country.Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance spokesman Paul Craney and local officials also slammed a voter-approved 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million — revenue of which has been allocated to education and transportation needs in the state — as a reason why residents are leaving Massachusetts.“Even though the Legislature and the governor passed very minor tax relief, if the goal was to keep people here, stop people from leaving, or even attract people to Massachusetts, what they passed … is not going to do it,” Craney said. “There has to be more.”Gov. Maura Healey signed a $1 billion-a-year tax relief bill in October after the Legislature debated some form of the package for nearly two years.The law lowers the short-term capital gains tax from 12% to 8.5%, boosts...
