BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Dodge Street man was sentenced to 25 years in prison and five years of post-release supervision after fatally beating his mother in February of last year.

Prosecutors say William Tyes, 39, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after killing 68-year-old Lenora Tyes.

Lenora was beaten on the face and head sometime between Feb. 7 and 10 inside their home.

As he attempted to flee the area, prosecutors say William hid his mother’s body in a front foyer, draped a sheet over the door and put a couch in front of the sheet.

Prosecutors say William lied to his family and friends about the condition of his mother.

Lenora’s body was found on the afternoon of Feb. 10, 2015 as Buffalo Police were investigating a missing person report that was filed by her sister. Police found William on the same day, hiding at a friend’s apartment.
