Man Convicted In Two Local Stabbings Gets 18 Year Sentence

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

A central Ohio man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison under a plea bargain for fatally stabbing a Columbus grandmother and wounding her 7-year-old grandson. 30-year-old Kristopher Amos pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter Wednesday in the death of 45-year-old Candy Arthurs and felonious assault for stabbing the grandson while they were helping him find a missing drone near Oakley Avenue. A motive remains unclear. Amos' attorney says he has mental health issues. Amos is a twice convicted sex offender.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
