MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) — A Chilton man has pleaded guilty to strangling his girlfriend, telling the court he lost his temper.

In an agreement with prosecutors, 52-year-old Roger Rosenthal pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree reckless homicide and hiding a corpse. Rosenthal killed Michelle Jaeger in January 2010 and hid her body in a rural area near Maple Grove in Manitowoc County.

WLUK-TV says prosecutors are recommending he serve 20 years in prison. However, the judge could send Rosenthal to prison for up to 41 years.

Sentencing is scheduled Nov. 17.
