] it follows that at the time he committed these tragic acts he precluded himself from sharing in either of his victim's estate. Since the parents' only other heir in being at the time of this double murder was the appellant, Leslie's brother, we also hold that title to all the lands in question is now vested in appellant.

As previously recited, the marriage of Leslie and appellee Lynda occurred years after the slayings, as did the birth of appellee Glenn. We express no opinion as to the rights of the appellees had their relationship to Leslie A. Wright been in being, as was appellant's, when these murders occurred. We cannot agree with appellees that a civil court adjudication of the wrongful killings in the case at bar must precede the slayer's demise. Appellant's petition to quiet and confirm title to all the lands should be granted.

Reversed and remanded for entry of a decree consistent with this opinion.
