It appears, their 27-year son, Demondra Gaines is a person of interest in this crime.

According to Columbia Herald, During a public press conference, Captain Jeremy Haywood said, “The Columbia Police Department is aggressively investigating the tragic double-homicide,” Haywood further said the investigators on the case worked day and night to uncover the evidence pointing to the killer.

“Evidence recovered from this crime scene proves the death of Christopher and Katrina Gaines to be the result of a brutal stabbing attack on the couple and that their 27-year-old son, Demondra Gaines, is responsible for this attack upon these two individuals.”

Cops have yet to disclose a motive for this horrifying crime. They revealed that two children, aged 2 and 3, were at the home at the time of the murder. Both children were unharmed and they are back in the care of their parents. However, Haywood did not reveal the relationship the children had with the victims or the suspect.
