Three Kentucky men accused in a double murder case in Sevier County have pleaded guilty.

Matthew Oakes, Marcus Chaney, and Jacob Sharp, all of Somerset pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless homicide on Tuesday.

A judge sentenced them to three years in prison, with the possibility of parole.

The men were charged in the February 2011 deaths of 27-year- old Brandon Breitweiser and 21-year-old Brandon Lindsey.

Authorities believe the shooting was drug-related.

They found Lindsey's body outside an apartment complex on Murrell Meadows Drive.

Authorities found Breitweiser with gunshot wounds in a car at a nearby Walgreens.  He died a short time later.
