US Man Read From The Bible And Told His 3 Sons They Were "Best Boys Ever". Then He Killed Them

On Friday, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison.

An Ohio father read from the Bible, told his children he loved them, and made a cryptic call to his own father-saying his eldest boy would be "the hardest one"-before brutally murdering his three young sons at their family home, the Independent reported. 

Chad Doerman, 33, shot and killed his sons Clayton, 7, Hunter, 4, and Chase, 3, in Monroe Township, about 75 miles west of Columbus, on June 15, 2023. On Friday, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison.

Disturbing new details have emerged about Doerman's actions leading up to the murders and the final hours of the three young boys' lives.
