Kewaskum farmhand sentenced By Andrew Kuehl akuehl@kewaskumstatesman.com WEST BEND- The town of Kewaskum man who plead guilty to killing a co-worker while working on a town of Kewaskum farm has been given a life sentence. The man also is said to have bludgeoned the victim’s brother at the same time, just a little over a year ago. Anselmo Gonzalez-Castillo was sentenced Wednesday, December 20, by Washington County Judge Andy Gonring, who ruled the 35-year-old could petition for extended supervision after 27 years. Gonzalez-Castillo pleaded guilty September 21 to first-degree intentional homicide. Washington County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the William Thull farm on Monday, December 12, 2005, at approximately 11:42 pm after they received a 911 call stating two male subjects had been severely beaten at the dairy farm. Upon arrival, deputies discovered two Village of Kewaskum brothers, Ramon Sanchez, 35, and Rosando Sanchez, 26, who had been struck several times in the head. Ramon was unconscious and bleeding profusely. Rosando was semi-conscious but also bleeding from a head wound. According to a criminal complaint, the Sanchez brothers were milking cows when the lights suddenly went out in the milking parlor. At that time, Rosando went to an adjacent room to check the circuit breaker and was struck on the head, knocking him to the floor. Within moments, Ramon entered the room and was also struck on the head knocking him unconscious. Gonzalez-Castillo later told authorities he believed he was about to be fired because of statements the victims had made to their employer. This led him to the brutal attack on the brothers. As part of a plea agreement, a charge of aggrevated battery with a deadly weapon was dismissed. However, the charge was read into the court record.
