LOWELL, Mass. (AP) - A 43-year-old Massachusetts man who stabbed another man outside of a party during a fight in 2017 has been sentenced to five years in prison.
The Lowell Sun reports that Khin Vieng was sentenced last week after pleading guilty to armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury.
