The man who killed abeloved couple in their Washington State homelast year, less than one month before they planned to open a brewery, was sentenced to 66 years in prison Wednesday, multiple news outlets report.

During the March 8 sentencing, the daughter confronted the man who killed her parents in Kitsap County Superior Court.

Rose was identified as a suspect and arrested at a Tacoma, Wash., gas station four days later, after leading authorities on a chase through Mason and Pierce counties, according to the release.

Prosecutors called the crime a robbery gone wrong, saying that Rose was caught in the act of burglarizing the home and decided to kill the couple rather than flee, according toThe News Tribune.

A judge this week also accepted a plea deal that included a lifetime no-contact order for the couple’s daughter, Fox 13 reports.

The Shulzes owned a business called East 2 West Brewing and were just three weeks shy of opening their first brewery when they were killed, according to theirobituary.
