Years after the body of an Illinois landlord was found in a sewer, the men responsible for his murder were sentenced.

Vasudeva Kethireddy, 76, went missing in August 2018 after two brothers who lived in one of his Chicago apartments — Elijah Green, 31, and Tony Green, 28 — lured him to their home with the intention of robbing him. In addition to taking his cash and credit cards, Elijah Green strangled him. Kethireddy’s body was found in September 2018, dumped in a sewer. The brothers were arrested in October 2018 and convicted of the murder in August 2024.
