KEARNEY — A Guatemala man has been sentenced to 20 to 32 years in prison for stabbing his girlfriend and her sister in their northwest Kearney apartment.

Mauro Yos-Chiguil pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder and felony second-degree assault charges in Buffalo County Court.

Authorities have said the 33-year-old Yos-Chiguil stabbed his girlfriend and mother of his twin sons in her head, shoulder, chest and stomach. She was released after treatment at a local hospital.

Also injured was the girlfriend’s teenage sister.

After he completes his sentence, Yos-Chiguil could face deportation. Authorities have said he is an illegal immigrant.
