A 14-year-old California boy who told police that an intruder attacked his family has been arrested on suspicion of killing his parents and seriously injuring his 11-year-old sister, authorities said Friday.
The boy is suspected of killing his father, Lue Yang, and his mother, Se Vang, both 37, at the family’s rural home near the Fresno County community of Miramonte on Wednesday, county Sheriff John Zanoni said at a news conference.
He is being held in juvenile hall, the sheriff said.
His name has not been released because he is a minor.
The older brother underwent emergency surgery for critical injuries but is expected to recover, while his 7-year-old younger brother was not attacked and is in the care of relatives, Zanoni said.
The boy made a 911 call claiming that his family was attacked by someone who broke into the house and then fled in a pickup truck.

But detectives found “inconsistencies” in her story and also determined that the victim was attacked using a weapon found in the family’s home, the sheriff said.
“The evidence ultimately showed that he fabricated the story of the break-in and was responsible for using multiple weapons to attack his mother, father and sister,” Zanoni said.
He gave no other details.

“The tragedy of this situation is great because two children have lost their mother and father due to the actions of their other siblings,” said Zanoni.
Investigators have not determined a motive, and the investigation is ongoing.
“We didn’t see anything related to contact with law enforcement, mental health or anything that would lead us to believe that he has a propensity for violence,” Zanoni said.
