CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) — A Nampa man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for stabbing a man to death in Caldwell on Christmas Eve.

The Idaho Press-Tribune reports that 21-year-old Edgar Covarrubias pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the death of 20-year-old Ricardo Sedano. Covarrubias was originally charged with second-degree murder.
