The house where Erik It is Lyle Menendez brutally murdered their parents and were just sold for a lot of money… and, coincidentally, the transaction closed on an anniversary related to the case.
According to Los Angeles Times … the mansion sold for $17 million on Wednesday, just a few months after it went up for sale in December.
The house contains seven bedrooms, a swimming pool, a tennis court and a two-story guest house. It was purchased for $3.7 million in 2001 – a pretty impressive ROI for the previous owner. Realtor.com reports that the home sold for below prevailing market value — perhaps not surprising given the dark events that took place there.
As we said, the sale of the house came exactly 28 years after Erik and Lyle were convicted of first-degree murder for killing their parents, Joseph It is kitten, with a shotgun. They were convicted on March 20, 1996.
