WHITE PLAINS – Three men pled guilty in Westchester County Court in connection with the beating death of a homeless day laborer.
The victim, Jose Reyes Sanchez, was beaten to death in a wooded area near Lieto Drive and Lexington Avenue in Mount Kisco sometime over the course of July 4 and 5, 2015.
An investigation by Westchester County Police led to the arrests of the three men.
Fredy Coronado Mendez Depaz, 36, and his brother, Mario David Coronado Depaz, 21, both pled guilty to manslaughter. Milton Aviel Ventura, 36, pled guilty to robbery. All three are from Mount Kisco.
Sanchez was repeatedly punched, kicked and beaten with a tree branch.
Prior to the attack, Mario Depaz and Ventura forcibly stole his wrist
watch.
The Depaz brothers each face up to five to 15 years in state prison. Ventura faces two-and-one-third to seven years in prison.
All three will be sentenced early next year.
