15-year-old suspect of murdering parents in Meerstad detained for longer

A 15-year-old suspect in the double murder of their parents in Meerstad has been ordered by the court to remain in custody for an additional 90 days. The suspect was arrested on June 18 after police discovered the lifeless bodies of the parents in their home. Police entered the house after being alerted by parents of classmates who received a photo from the suspect showing the deceased parents. Due to the suspect's age, authorities have been cautious about releasing further details about the incident. It remains unclear when the teenager will appear before a juvenile court, which would likely occur behind closed doors.
