Killing his father sends Brian Novak, 38, Kenosha, to prison for 30 years. He was convicted in June and sentenced Oct. 12.

The jury found Brian Novak guilty of second-degree intentional homicide with a dangerous weapon. Prosecutors said he had punched, stomped and beaten 59-year-old Michael Novak in the head with an electric guitar.

The attack happened at the father’s house in September 2010. Novak and his girlfriend had been living there.

The fight came after several months of conflict between the father and son, some of it due to the father’s alleged sexual interest in the son’s girlfriend.
