A Fresno judge on Thursday sent an elderly Cambodian refugee to prison for more
than two decades for stabbing the man's estranged wife to death.
Pech Sok, 69, was convicted of first-degree murder last month in connection
with the slaying of his estranged wife, who had recently left him.
A judge sentenced Sok to 26 years to life in prison.
Pech Sok had come to the U.S. to seek a new life after his first wife died in
Cambodia -- a victim of dictator Pol Pot's purges.
His second wife died 11 years ago.
She drowned in the San Joaquin River as she tried to save the lives of two of
their children, who also drowned.
