Ohioan who said he killed brothers gets life term

OTTAWA, Ohio (AP) — An 18-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison in the slayings of two teen brothers in northwest Ohio.

A Putnam County judge told Michael Fay today that he won’t be eligible for parole until he’s 78 years old.

Fay pleaded guilty in October to two counts of aggravated murder in the shootings of 14-year-old Blaine Romes and his 17-year-old brother, Blake Romes.

Authorities say Fay killed the brothers at the Ottawa mobile home he and his mother were sharing with the brothers and their mother.

Prosecutors say Fay shot the brothers with a gun he got from a storage unit after they had an argument while their mothers were at work.
