Oskaloosa ? Two people convicted last month for their part in the Oct. 14, 1999, slaying of a rural Lawrence man will be going to prison.

Today in Jefferson County District Court, Collin E. Cady, 33, McLouth, was sentenced to a total of 166 months, almost 14 years, for the murder of Clarence Rinke, 55.

Charolette M. Bennett, 29, Lawrence, will serve 24 months in prison for aiding and abetting aggravated burglary.

The sentences were handed down by Judge Gary Nafziger.

Cady pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for which he will serve 123 months. He also pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and was sentenced to 43 months to be served consecutive to the murder sentence.

And Cady was ordered to serve a 34-month sentence for aggravated burglary to be served concurrently to the other sentences.

At 1 p.m. today Nafziger will sentence Noah J. Gleason, 43, rural Lawrence, for first-degree murder.

Rinke was found shot to death Oct. 14, 1999 in his Jefferson County home near 21st and Republic streets.

Trial testimony revealed that Gleason planned to rob Rinke of cash and marijuana and enlisted help from Cady and Bennett.

Rinke was lured to the front gate of his property by Bennett then returned to find Gleason and Cady inside his house.

Rinke struggled with Cady for control of a sawed-off shotgun and was hit in the chest when the gun went off. The suspects fled.

After calling 911, officers found Rinke lying dead in his kitchen.

Sheriff’s officers and Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents worked on the case more than two years before arresting the three suspects in April.
