Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
On a warm evening in Beverly Hills in August 1989, two brothers entered their residence armed with shotguns and fatally shot their parents, José and Mary Louise Kitty Menéndez. Kitty sustained ten gunshot wounds, while José was shot six times.
Following the tragic incident, the brothers did not attempt to escape; instead, they awaited the arrival of law enforcement, with Lyle frantically calling 911 and exclaiming, Someone killed my parents. Upon the police's arrival, Lyle and Erik Menéndez claimed they had been at the cinema watching Batman and discovered their parents in this horrific condition.
The narrative surrounding this shocking case, along with the investigation that ultimately led to the brothers' apprehension, is now the focus of the second installment of Netflix’s acclaimed true crime series, Monsters. The inaugural chapter, released in 2022, centered on the infamous American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and became Netflix’s third most popular English-language series to date, generating significant anticipation for the upcoming series featuring Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny.
