What Will Be The Series ‘MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ About?
The upcoming series ‘MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ will center on the notorious Menéndez brothers, who infamously committed matricide and patricide by murdering their wealthy parents, Jose and Kitty Menéndez, in their opulent Beverly Hills residence in 1989.
At the time of the heinous act, the brothers were 21 and 18 years old, and they claimed that their actions were in self-defense, citing years of enduring physical, se*xual, and emotional abuse at the hands of their parents.
