BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – A suburban Chicago teen accused of killing his parents plotted with his friends for months before they went into the couple's bedroom, pummeled them with baseball bats as they slept and stole their money, authorities said Tuesday.
The couple's son, John Granat, 17, was charged with first-degree murder Sept. 13, two days after his parents, John Granat, 44, and Maria Granat, 42, were found dead, all but unrecognizable, in their Palos Park bedroom. Authorities on Tuesday also charged three of the high school senior's friends in the couple's deaths.
"They conspired over the course of months to come up with a plan to kill John Granat's parents and take their money," Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart. "John the son did not like his parents at all and they also wanted to get some money."
Investigators started interviewing Christopher Wyma, 17, Mohammad Salahat, 17, and Ehab Qasem, 19, on Sunday. After confronting them with evidence they'd gathered that contradicted their earlier statements that they had not seen Granat for hours when the slayings occurred in the middle of the night, the three quickly gave detailed, videotaped confessions, Dart said. Then, he said, they led investigators to where they had hidden two baseball bats and a knife. They also recovered bloody clothing and about $21,000 of the $35,000 authorities said they made off with after the killings.

Dummies. You know if you kill ma and pa, you get nothing in the will, right?
You'll be surprised what $35,000 does to people, especially teenagers. Old fashion greed, just like what God and Moses warned us about in the 10 Commandments.
wonder what the alternate plans couldve possibly been...
