(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A 33-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a Hinsdale mother of two in her west suburban home.
Dominic Sanders was found guilty earlier this year in the murder of Andrea Urban, then 51, according to a statement from the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office.
Officers found Urban, a leukemia survivor, lying dead on the kitchen floor with knife wounds to her head and neck on May 4, 2017, at her home in the 700 block of Town Place, prosecutors said
Investigators learned that Sanders entered the house earlier that day and, once he was inside, he and Urban started fighting, the state’s attorney’s office said. During the fight, he struck her repeatedly and slashed her throat before running away.
Sanders was sentenced to natural life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder charge, prosecutors said. He was also sentenced to an additional 35 years for home invasion and 15 years for burglary.
Sanders has been held without bail since his arrest on May 27, 2017.
