Man i Minnesota dömd till 11 års fängelse för knivhugg mot föräldrar

Travis Lester dömdes till 11 års fängelse efter att ha erkänt att han knivhuggit båda sina föräldrar i deras hem i Champlin i september förra året.

Lester, 40, erkände sig skyldig till försök till mord av andra graden i april. Den 8 maj dömdes han till 11 års fängelse med avdrag för 245 dagars avtjänad tid. Attacken ägde rum på kvällen den 5 september 2025, när polisen ryckte ut efter ett nödsamtal från familjens hem. Lesters far berättade för polisen att hans son hade knivhuggit honom och hans hustru under ett drogutlöst raseri. Båda föräldrarna fick flera knivsår men överlevde efter att ha förts till sjukhus i kritiskt tillstånd. Lester erkände senare att han hade tänkt på attacken i en eller två dagar och sade att han egentligen inte ville genomföra den. Polisen hittade en kökskniv och metamfetamin i hans bil när de stoppade honom kort därefter.
