POSTED: 11:52 am EDT September 3, 2009

BROWNSBURG, Ind. -- A man charged in the June stabbing death of his wife pleaded guilty Thursday to her murder.

Joseph Warnock, 41, admitted killing his wife, Angela Warnock, 38, in front of the couple's two children at her home.

Warnock agreed to a 55-year prison sentence, but he still faces an official sentencing hearing, which is set for Oct. 9 at the Hendricks County Courthouse.

Angela Warnock's body was found in her bed. The couple had separated in May, and her friends told 6News in June that she was planning to move away with the children, ages 8 and 12.

Joseph Warnock forced his way into the home before the stabbing, and the children called 911 to tell police what they had just witnessed.

He was found several hours after the killings, sitting on the side of a road near the home.
