According to local media reports, 20-year-old Peyton Moyer allegedly murdered his parents at their home which was located in Watkinsville, Georgia.
He has now been arrested by the police early Tuesday morning, which was the same day that he committed the tragic crime, as revealed by state authorities.
Moyer carried out the horrifying attack when his two younger siblings were present at their residence in Watkinsville, right before he made a quick getaway in one of the victim’s vehicles, as reported by Fox News.
The bodies of the victims were reportedly identified as his 41-year-old mother named Ashley Schultz and his 54-year-old stepfather named Benjamin Smith. They were both present inside their own home by deputies who reported to the scene on Tuesday morning.
