In a shocking turn of events, 35 years after the brutal murders of their parents, Lyle and Erik Menendez, infamous for their heinous crime, are still serving time behind bars. The recent release of the Netflix series "Monsters" brought the focus back on the Menendez brothers, shedding light on their troubled past and the chilling events that unfolded in 1989.

The immensely popular TV series delves into the dark and twisted narrative of the Menendez brothers, who brutally shot their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, using 12-gauge shotguns in their Beverly Hills home. Following their arrest in 1990, Lyle and Erik were sentenced to consecutive life terms in 1996, despite their claims of self-defence due to years of alleged abuse at the hands of their parents.

Despite multiple attempts to appeal their convictions, their efforts have been in vain, and both brothers remain incarcerated for the murders. Lyle Menendez is currently serving his sentence at Mule Creek State Prison in California, while Erik is housed at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. The unexpected reunion of the brothers in 2018 sparked further speculation about their case and the events leading up to the tragic killings.

During the trial, Lyle Menendez provided graphic details of the events that transpired before the murders, including a confrontation with his father regarding alleged childhood abuse, which ultimately spiraled into a violent altercation. The high-profile case, spanning over seven years, captured national attention and continues to intrigue viewers, as depicted in the gripping retelling in the Netflix series "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," now available for streaming.
