CROWN POINT, Ind. (AP) — A man who killed three teenagers and buried their bodies in concrete in the basement of his Hammond home was sentenced Friday to three consecutive life terms with no chance of parole.

David Maust, 51, pleaded guilty to killing Michael Dennis, 13; James Raganyi, 16; and Nicholas James, 19. Police said they suspect Raganyi and Dennis were suffocated or strangled, and James died of a fractured skull.

Maust has been in and out of mental institutions from an early age.
