A Topeka man has received a sentence of 273 months, or approximately 23 years in prison for the stabbing death of a Junction City woman.

Daniel Edwards received the sentence in Geary County District Court today.

Edwards plead guilty earlier this year to one count each of second degree murder and aggravated robbery stemming from the stabbing death of 52 year old Sharon Moody at her residence in Junction City on March 13, 2015.

In response to questioning by the Court, Edwards admitted that he did stab Sharon Moody who died in the incident. He also admitted in court records to taking a 2011 Mazda CX 7 automobile, keys, and other personal items including credit cards from Moody.

Geary County Attorney Krista Blaisdell confirmed to JC Post that Edwards received 214 months for the second degree murder charge, and 59 months for the aggravated robbery – to be served consecutively.
