(CBS DETROIT) – Two men who were found guilty in the murder of Oak Park jeweler Dan Hutchinson were sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Judge Nanci Grant sentenced Marco Bisbikis and Roy Larry on Wednesday, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.

Prosecutors said Bisbikis, who was an attorney, orchestrated the murder of Hutchinson and his wife, and Larry shot at the couple as they sat in their SUV outside of the shop on June 1, 2022.

Bisbikis and Larry were found guilty last month of first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree premeditated murder, assault with intent to murder and two counts of felony firearm.

Two other co-defendants, Darnell Larry and Angelo Raptoplous, were convicted and are awaiting sentencing. A fifth person, Phillip Sumpter of Ohio, was charged with conspiracy in February 2024.

“This was a long-planned murder motivated by greed. The sentences handed down by Judge Grant today will not bring Daniel Hutchinson back, but I hope they bring his family some peace,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said in a statement.

Detroit Zoo welcomes Nguvu the giraffe from Utah

The Detroit Zoo welcomed a new giraffe, Nguvu, to the herd, officials announced on Wednesday.

Officials say 1-year-old Nguvu came from Utah’s Hogle Zoo as part of the zoo’s “long-term plan for the giraffe herd.”

“This move was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Giraffe Species Survival Plan, which promotes the health, genetic diversity and overall sustainability of giraffe populations in zoos – and we’re eager to support Nguvu as he adjusts to his new home,” the Detroit Zoo says.

Officials say Nguvu has been working with the animal care teams for several days and will be introduced to the herd soon.

According to Utah’s Hogle Zoo, Nguvu was born in February 2025. His name means “strength” in Swahili.

Lions-Patriots scheduled for Week 10 in Munich

The Detroit Lions are taking part in the NFL’s International series for the first time since 2015 by hosting the AFC Champion New England Patriots Week 10 in Munich at Allianz Arena on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 9:30 a.m. ET (3:30 p.m. local time in Germany) on FOX.

The Patriots represented the AFC in the Super Bowl this past February after a 14-3 season and their 22nd AFC East title. They beat the Los Angeles Chargers (16-3), Houston Texans (28-16) and Denver Broncos (10-7) in the playoffs to earn their 12th Super Bowl appearance, which they lost to Seattle (29-13).

Patriots QB Drake Maye is one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL entering his third season and New England’s defense is coming off a 2025 season in which they ranked fourth in points allowed (18.8) and eighth in total defense (295.2).

This is the second of Detroit’s 2026 matchups to be announced early (Week 2 TNF in Buffalo). The rest of the Lions schedule will be revealed Thursday evening.
