Convicted ax murderer sentenced to life for killing step-grandfather in Wisconsin

SPARTA, Wis. — A judge sentenced a Wisconsin man to life plus 120 years in prison Wednesday for killing his step-grandfather with an ax and injuring two other people during an altercation at the step-grandfather’s home.

Monroe County Circuit Judge Todd Ziegler called 38-year-old Thomas Wayne Aspseter a selfish, remorseless human being with almost no redeeming qualities before he sentenced him, the La Crosse Tribune reported.
