TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Two Oklahoma teenagers are due in court to face accusations they stabbed their parents and three siblings to death in a rampage last summer.
Nineteen-year-old Robert Bever and 17-year-old Michael Bever have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Tuesday's hearing is for the judge to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial.
Prosecutors say the brothers planned the attack at the family's home in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow. Their father was stabbed 28 times and their mother had at least 48 wounds. Prosecutors plan to call a teenage sister who survived the attack to testify at the hearing.
A judge rejected Michael Bever's request to be tried as a juvenile.
