Connecticut man pleads guilty to murdering his parents

Police say Kyle Navin killed his parents after they threatened to cut him out of their wills

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man who police say killed his parents after they threatened to cut him out of their wills has pleaded guilty to two murder counts in a deal that calls for a 55-year prison sentence.

Twenty-nine-year-old Kyle Navin entered the pleas in Bridgeport Superior Court on Monday, a day before his trial was to begin. Sentencing is set for June 29.

Jeffrey and Jeanette Navin, of Easton, were found shot to death in October 2015 in a wooded area of Weston. Court documents say they were upset about their son’s behavior and drug use, and planned to cut him out of their wills.
