Holden man gets 8 years in death of wife

WORCESTER, Mass.—A Holden man who threw his wife down the cellar stairs and beat her over the head with a weightlifting bar has been sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter.

Ronald Dubovick had faced a murder charge for the December 2006 attack and resulting death of Janet Dubovick, but pleaded to the lesser charge in a deal with prosecutors.

Prosecutors say the 68-year-old woman died in the hospital nearly five months later of injuries sustained in the attack. The couple had been married 47 years.
