“Menendez Brothers: Murderers of their Parents” premieres this Thursday (19) on Netflix. The series is based on a real crime and is part of the anthology “Monsters”, about crimes that happened in the United States.
The first season had a murder theme Jeffrey Dahmer, and this time, it is inspired by the case of the Menendez brothers, young men from the American elite who murdered their own parents with twelve shots in 1989.
Understand the crime
On August 20, Lyle and Erik Menendez killed Jose and Kitty at the family’s Beverly Hills home in the United States. At the time, they were 21 and 18 years old, respectively, and together they shot the couple more than 12 times with shotguns.
Less than a year after the murders, in March 1990, Lyle was arrested, followed by Erik three days later. Neither attempted to deny the crimes during their separate trials in 1995.
