Tulsa

: The older of two Oklahoma brothers accused of fatally stabbing their parents and three younger siblings last year has been sentenced to life without parole after pleading guilty in the killings.

The 19-year-old Robert Bever was sentenced in Tulsa County District Court after pleading guilty at his scheduled arraignment in the July 2015 killings.

Bever's brother, 17-year-old Michael Bever, remained silent during his arraignment and a judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Michael Bever's trial is scheduled to begin next year.

According to reports, the brothers admitted to killing their family members because they wanted to be famous killers and were also planning going on a murdering spree across the nation.

The Bevers were accused of killing their parents, David Bever, 52, and April Bever, 44, and their siblings Daniel, 12, Christopher, 7, and Victoria, 5, in a middle-of-the-night rampage in suburban Tulsa. Two siblings, both sisters, survived the bloodbath at their home.
