Man charged in daughter’s death found guilty of killing wife

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – An Ohio man charged in the death of his daughter in Connecticut has been convicted of killing his wife more than 20 years ago in Massachusetts.

The Hampden district attorney’s office says a jury found 73-year-old Robert Honsch guilty Monday of the murder of Marcia Honsch, whose body was found in October 1995 in Tolland State Forest.

The Republican reports Robert Honsch was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

He was arrested in 2014 in Dalton, Ohio, where authorities say he was living with a new wife and three children.

He faces a murder charge in Connecticut in the death of his 17-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, whose body was found in September 1995. The family then lived in New York.

The defence said Robert Honsch had nothing to do with the deaths.
