HANCOCK COUNTY -- A Findlay newlywed accused of beating his young wife to death with a hammer, in September, has pleaded guilty to her murder.

According to The Toledo Blade, Evan Donoho pleaded guilty to killing his wife 29-year-old Danielle Robinson Donoho, on Thursday.

The 26-year-old was sentenced to jail time for the murder, two counts of tampering with evidence, and two counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.

Authorities say during their investigation of the murder they found child pornography on Evan Donoho’s computer.

He’s expected to serve between 15 years to life for the charges.

According to Hancock County Prosecutor Mark Miller,  Donoho will not be eligible for parole until 2040.

In September, Donoho was arrested after his wife's body was found in a field in Hancock County.

Danielle Robinson Donoho left behind two children, a teen and a toddler.
