New York man charged with parents’ murders after TV confession

Lorenz Kraus, 53, tells WRGB in Albany he killed elderly parents as act of mercy and buried bodies in back yard

A man confessed to killing his parents and then burying them in their back yard during a recent interview with a local television news channel in upstate New York, leading authorities to charge him with two counts of murder.

Lorenz Kraus's remarkable interview with WRGB aired pn Thursday, shortly after police discovered two bodies at his family's home in Albany - and about eight years after his parents were last seen alive before apparently vanishing without a trace.
