Holden woman sentenced to 18 years for killing husband
On Friday, Oct. 30, Holden resident Helen Naslund, 56, was sentenced to 18 years, while her son Neil Naslund, 28, got three years for assisting her in hiding the body – that went undiscovered at the bottom of a pond for nearly six years – after Naslund pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
In 2011, it was the Labour Day weekend, during which the Naslund family came to know their finances would not work out for their farm located in Beaver County, near Holden.
According to court documents, on hearing that the haying machine had broken down that weekend, Miles became so angry that he threw a number of wrenches at Helen, who managed the equipment store. At the Sunday dinner table, he was in a rage and cleared the entire table, throwing food and place settings to the floor. . . . contd.
