Second man sentenced on manslaughter charge

The second man suspected of killing of a dialysis patient and dumping his body in the Spokane River pleaded guilty to manslaughter last week. James C. Bonham, 36, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for the death of Donald Jeffrey Kuest, whose body was found near John C. Shields Park on Nov. 22, 2013. Authorities said Kuest died of drowning and hypothermia, but his body showed signs of struggle. Michael Bullock, 41, was arrested with Bonham in connection with the death. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter last July and received an eight year prison sentence.
