OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A 29-year-old man faces at least 50 years in prison for the stabbing deaths of two Lenexa men.

Alex Brune pleaded guilty in February to two counts of first-degree murder in the July 2014 deaths of 47-year-old Brian Baskind and his stepfather, 79-year-old Clifford Preston at the men’s home in Lenexa. Their bodies were found in the basement.

The Kansas City Star reports that Brune was sentenced Monday in Johnson County court to life. He will have to serve 50 years in prison before being eligible for parole.

Brune was shot by one of the men during the altercation and initially told officers that he was kidnapped from his home and taken to the house, where he found a knife and stabbed both men during an escape attempt.
