The man convicted of the 2010 deaths of a Madison County couple was sentenced Tuesday.
Daniel Keene pleaded guilty to two counts of murder, two counts of kidnapping, one count of burglary, one count of tampering with evidence and two counts of abuse of a corpse in connection to the murders of Sonsary “Sonsi” Warford and Charles “Chew” Walker. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors recommended a sentence of 40 years in prison to run concurrently.

In a Madison County courtroom, the judge accepted the recommended sentence.
Warford and Walker were first reported missing in the summer of 2010. Their bodies were found two years later. Keene and Matthew Denholm were charged in the kidnapping and murder. Lebruce Ellington was also charged in the couple’s death.
Denholm pleaded guilty to killing Sonsi and another man in an unrelated Berea case. He’s serving a life sentence.
Keene will be eligible for parole in 2032.
