All four victims are related to one another, and police believe
the suspect knew the family, Perry police said. They ranged in
age from 2 to 82. They were found Saturday evening at the
Timberline Mobile Home Park by officers sent there to check on
their well-being, police said.
“The Perry Police Department believes this to be an isolated
incident and there is no active danger to the Perry community at
this time,” police said in a statement.
The victims died in a “stabbing incident,” Perry police Capt.
Jason Jones told WMAZ-TV.
Jones said he believed the attack was perpetrated by one person
with a prior relationship to one of the victims, he told the
Macon TV station.
“There is a lot of evidence that we’re having to analyze and
filter through,” he said. “Right now, we haven’t charged
anybody, but we’re continuing to take steps to get closer to
that.”
Perry is a city of about 24,000 people about 106 miles (171
kilometers) south of Atlanta.
