Knaus gets 11 years in Funke murder

There were some unexpected twists in the murder trial of Kenneth Knaus this week.

He’s now been sentenced to life in prison, with eligibility for parole after 11 years. Knaus pled guilty to second degree murder for killing his girlfriend Laurie Funke before the trial even began on Monday.

Funke’s body was found in the upper Niagara River back in 2009.
