A Pennsylvania man has entered no contest pleas to charges that he killed his father and stepmother with a sword in their Pennsylvania home almost five years ago

.

Authorities said Fountain told them he was off his schizophrenia medication at the time that John Fountain, 74, and Mary Fountain, 65, were killed in December 2019 in the York home the three shared. The sword authorities believe was used in the killings was found in his bedroom, authorities said. The York Dispatch reported that several relatives told the newspaper that they didn't believe their mentally ill relative was the culprit. His sister Caren Fountain said he told her a few days before his plea that he didn't remember committing the crime and “would never” have hurt the victims.
