Man convicted of trying to kill wife gets 38 years in prison

ROCKVILLE, Conn. (AP) A Connecticut man convicted last year of repeatedly trying to kill his wife has been sentenced to 38 years in prison.

The Hartford Courant reports John Corver of Bolton was found guilty Nov. 25 of multiple counts of first-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping and attempted murder in a trial before a judge. He was sentenced on Thursday.

Authorities say 53-year-old Corver stabbed his then-wife, Kim Langlands, repeatedly in April 2014 as they drove along Interstate 384 in Bolton and then again in Coventry.

A judge convicted Corver of attempted murder for the stabbings and for placing a wick in the fuel tank of the car they were riding in.

Corver was sentenced to prison in 2002 for running down his then-girlfriend and her friend in 2000.
