Garden City ? A Garden City man has changed his plea in the stabbing death of his sister.

The Garden City Telegram reports that 54-year-old Luis Montoya on Monday pleaded no contest in the death of his sister, Maria Montoya. He previously had pleaded innocent, and was scheduled to go to trial April 18.

Assistant Finney County attorney Tamara Hicks says Montoya will be sentenced April 25.

Montoya was arrested in August 2009 when police were called to the home he shared with his sister and found the 55-year-old woman dead. An autopsy showed wounds to her head, chest, face and arms.

Family members have testified the two argued repeatedly about responsibilities in the home.
