Wausau man sentenced to 40 years in prison for beheading a man

WAUSAU - A Wausau man will spend nearly 40 years in prison for shooting and beheading a Minnesota man, according to online court documents.

Twenty-eight-year-old Kou Thao was arrested in April 2013 after the 58-year-old man's severed head was found in a car.

Thao originally faced a charge of first-degree intentional homicide. However, he accepted a plea deal for lesser charges in September.
