SAN DIEGO–A man who fatally stabbed an 87-year-old woman and seriously wounded her 60-year-old daughter in Mira Mesa last year was sentenced to 36 years to life in state prison on June 26.
Anthony Duane Siddle, 61, pleaded guilty earlier this year to murder and attempted murder charges for the April 22, 2022, killing of Peggy Brandenburgh, as well as the stabbing of Brandenburgh’s daughter, Patricia Labarge, at the victims’ home on Pagoda Way.
According to Deputy District Attorney Melissa Vasel, Siddle was a friend of Brandenburgh’s son and at one point, the defendant had lived at the victims’ home.
