Law enforcement officials stated that a 14-year-old youth in Florida has confessed to the murders of his parents, an event stemming from a personal disagreement. According to the account, the teen was the one who took responsibility for the killings.
During a public appearance, Sheriff Michelle Cook of Clay County explained that the parents, David Lee, aged 44, and Brandy Smith, aged 45, were located dead in their home in Middleburg on Monday, with injuries appearing to be from bullets. This discovery was made early in the morning.
