A West Virginia man has been arrested on murder charges after police found the deceased bodies of his parents covered in lacerations and an ax at the scene.
Neighbors alerted police to a 26-year-old man who was knocking at the doors across the street from his home and “piling up paintings.”
A Kanawha County deputy responded to the call and met Takanao Kambara who told him “there were two dead bodies inside the house…they did not die naturally.”
Officers discovered the bodies of Takanao dead at the home. They were identified as Tsukasa Kambara and Claudette Kambara.
The father was an artist and his wife sold roses along the county’s highways.
Claudette was also a member of the Unification Church.
Takanao has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. A motive for the double murder was not determined.
