There is no way to answer that with any definitive answer. It depends on how long the prosecution and his defense attorney take to try the case. There is no way to predict how many hearings he is going to have, or how many prosecution witnesses that will be called. His sentence is just as indeterminate, because it can't be determined what he will be convicted for. He needs a criminal defense attorney, as soon as possible.
No one but his attorney can give you any informed answers, and then only after learning all the facts and issues. He faces up to a potential life sentence or the death penalty if convicted, depending upon how the murder is charged and proved.
