NATHAN BROOKS

Nathan Brooks, who brutally murdered both his parents in September 1995, won’t be getting out of prison anytime soon.

Brooks was denied parole by the Ohio Department of Corrections and won’t be eligible again until 2035, according to the state DOC website. Brooks had his first parole hearing since his 1995 conviction last month.

Brooks, now 47, is serving a life sentence at the London Correctional Institute, convicted of two counts of aggravated murder and one count of using a firearm while committing the murders. He killed his mother Marilyn and father Terry on Sept. 30, 1995, when he was a 17-year-old Bellaire High School student.

The self-professed Satan-worshipper shot his father, decapitated him with a hacksaw and put his head in a punchbowl. He then stabbed his mother to death. Police arrested Brooks along Riggs Road after his brother Ryan called them after finding their parents’ bodies early on Oct. 1.

Further investigation after Brooks arrest led to the discovery of a list of names in his room of numerous community members that he had planned on killing. That discovery led Bellaire officials to cancel trick-or-treat out of concern for the safety of the village’s residents.
