A TEENAGER in Georgia has been arrested and charged with the murder of her parents from back in February.
Sarah Grace Patrick is accused of killing her mother Kristin Brock, 41, and her stepfather James Brock, 45.
The 17-year-old turned herself in Carroll County jail this week, months after her parents’ deaths.
The couple were found shot dead in their bed on February 20.
Sarah Grace Patrick is being charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
She is expected to be tried as an adult.
Ashley Hulsey, a spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, said: “We don’t know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents.
“She’s 17. She’s kind of been out on her own.
“She’s lived with different family members and moved all over the place.”
Hulsey added that Sarah Grace had turned herself in when she was notified of her arrest warrants.
The case is still an open investigation, and more arrests and charges are still possible, Hulsey added.
Hulsey said: “Our team has sifted through mountains of physical and digital evidence and collaborated with the FBI and GBI crime lab.
“A big takeaway from this story — a mother and stepfather will never be able to raise their children.
“I believe he was waiting on a heart transplant at some point. And to have life cut short…”
Previously, the Brocks’ loved ones offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
“This is so horrendous,” Kristin’s father Dennis Nolan told Atlanta News First back at the time.
“You just can’t imagine that someone would come in and just take the life of two good people.”
The deceased couple were popular in their local church community.
Catalyst Church member Tasha Meza told Fox 5 Atlanta: “Kristin was bubbly and fun and she loved hugs.
“She never met a stranger. And James, he was a comical kind of guy. He would always crack jokes and make you laugh.”
