MAQUOKETA, Iowa (AP) — A Dubuque man has been given 50 years in prison for killing a 59-year-old man at the victim’s home in Bellevue. Jackson County District Court records say 24-year-old Drew Mangler was sentenced Friday. He’d been convicted last month of second-degree murder. Prosecutors say he stabbed to death Richard Remakel during a break-in.

Officers found Remakel’s body after being called to a house in Bellevue on Dec. 25, 2016. An autopsy showed Remakel had been stabbed at least 32 times in his upper body, neck and head. He was believed to be dead for several days before police found him.

Court documents say Mangler was developed as a suspect following witness accounts to police. Investigators say they found a shoe with Remakel’s blood on it during a search of Mangler’s house.
