A Kansas man who brutally beat his mother to death and then invited his sister over to look at the dead body will spend the next several decades in prison, a judge ruled earlier this week.

In November 2023, Kyle L. Romey, 44, was convicted on one count of murder in the first degree for the October 2021 slaying of Denyce Breit, 67, at her home on U.S. Route 54 in Sedgwick County.

On Jan. 2, Romey was sentenced to 653 months — or roughly 54 years — in a Sunflower state prison. After that, he will be eligible for parole.
