Two brothers on death row for a quadruple killing known as the “Wichita massacre” are seeking executive clemency from Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly.
On his personal social media page, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach responded to the news.
Prosecutors said the brothers broke into a Wichita home in December 2000 and forced the three men and two women there to have sex with one another and later to withdraw money from ATMs.
According to authorities, the women were raped repeatedly before all five were taken to a soccer field and shot. Four victims died: Aaron Sander, 29; Brad Heyka, 27; Jason Befort, 26; and Heather Muller, 25. One of the women survived to testify against the Carr brothers. Other crimes over six days left a fifth person dead.
The brothers are being held in the El Dorado Correctional Facility.
