(Des Moines, IA) -- A Des Moines man has been sentenced to 100 years in prison for killing a man who was found tied up in his apartment.

Twenty‑six‑year‑old Charles Edward Adams pleaded guilty to four charges, including second‑degree murder in the death of 65‑year‑old Bruce Murray, and attempted murder of a peace officer. Police were called to an apartment on Forest Avenue, where they found Murray’s body with his hands bound and a cord wrapped around his neck.

Two other men involved in the crime pleaded guilty to stealing meth and a large amount of cash from the scene.
