Suburban Atlanta man suspected of using samurai sword to stab his parents to death, police say
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a suburban Atlanta man suspected of stabbing his parents to death with a samurai sword has been arrested and is being questioned by police.
DeKalb County Police spokeswoman Mekka Parish says the bodies of a 73-year-old woman and her 75-year-old husband were found by a relative who visited their house Thursday afternoon.
Parish says the couple's 39-year-old son was identified as a suspect and was found at a nearby park less than two hours after his parents' deaths were reported.
Parish says authorities have not filed formal charges against the man, and the victims' identities haven't been released.
