WARREN

The 31-year-old man accused of murdering his parents in their Warren home on Saturday pleaded guilty to two felonies late last year, but he was sentenced to five years’ probation on each of them by two Trumbull County Common Pleas Court judges.

Louis R. Mann was arrested late Saturday afternoon at a Howland motel soon after police found his parents, Philip and Fran Mann, dead in their residence at 1686 Jefferson St. SW in Warren.

Mann, who is lodged in Trumbull County jail, is expected to make his initial appearance by video today in Warren Municipal Court in connection with the slayings.

Meanwhile, the city police log shows the Jefferson Street Southwest house was burglarized the night after its occupants were found dead.

A television set with blood all over it was taken, along with other valuables, Phil Mann, step-brother of the suspect, told 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.
