Parents sentenced in fire deaths of 2 children

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (AP) — A husband and wife were sentenced to prison for the deaths of two of their children in a house fire, which was sparked by a candle after money relatives loaned them to restore utilities was used to buy drugs.

Ryan Donachy, 26, was sentenced to 3½ to seven years in prison under an agreement reached last month at the start of his trial. He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children.

Debbie Donachy, 25, who had pleaded guilty a day earlier, was sentenced to just under three years to six years for involuntary manslaughter.

The couple's 2-year-old son, Britton, and 1-year-old daughter, Onna, died in the house fire in November 2007. Authorities said the electric bill was more than a year in arrears.

6. Nope. But they'll make up for it when they get out, mark my words.
If not with each other, then with other partners......
