A 29-year-old man, Carl V. Hughes IV, who killed his parents and sister at their home last year has been sentenced to 90 years imprisonment.


He was sentenced to 150 years in prison with 60 years suspended after pleading guilty Monday to three counts of first-degree murder, local news agencies report. 

Police discovered Hughes' father, 71-year-old Carl V. Hughes Jr.; his mother, 54-year-old Angela Hughes; and his sister, 22-year-old Bianca Hughes stabbed to death in the family's home on September 23, 2015.

His attorney said he was not in his right mind, while on a three-to-four-day crack binge and had convinced himself that he had to kill his family members.
