Scène incroyable sur la chaîne américaine, CBS quand un invité avoue en direct le meurtre de ses parents, huit ans plus tôt, avant d'être arrêté à la sortie du studio par les forces de l'ordre !. Tout a commencé mercredi dernier quand des enquêteurs ont entamé des fouilles dans le jardin de leur maison à Albany (New York). Ils ont déterré un premier corps, le second le lendemain. Cette découverte a eu lieu après une enquête pour fraude, alors que la sécurité sociale locale versait des prestations chaque mois au couple et qu'elle n'avait pas de nouvelles d'eux depuis des années.

Dans la foulée, leur fils, Lorenz Kraus a contacté plusieurs médias. Son interview sur CBS 6 a été diffusée à peine deux heures après la macabre découverte.

Lors de cet entretien, le quinquagénaire a tenté de faire passer son double meurtre pour un acte de miséricorde envers ses parents. L'homme a expliqué que sa mère avait été blessée en traversant une route et que son père ne pouvait plus conduire à cause de la cataracte.

"J'ai fait mon devoir envers mes parents [...] ils savaient qu'ils allaient mal", a-t-il indiqué lors de cet entretien. Ils étaient fragiles du fait de leur âge, mais n'étaient pas atteints de maladie incurable.

«Quand mon père est mort, ma mère a posé sa tête sur sa poitrine. Et après quelques heures, je l'ai achevée», a expliqué le quinquagénaire. Franz et Theresia Kraus, qui auraient respectivement 92 et 83 ans aujourd'hui, ont disparu de la circulation en août 2017. Les autorités n'ont eu vent de cette disparition qu'en mai dernier, lorsque les services sociaux ont demandé que des policiers aillent s'enquérir de l'état de santé du couple

S'il était réticent à donner des informations au début de l'entretien sur la mort des deux personnes âgées, il a finalement avoué les faits. Il a même déclaré avoir étouffé ses deux parents. "C'était tellement rapide", a-t-il précisé.

00:00So again, this man, right here, Lawrence Krauss, arrested outside of our studios yesterday.
00:07You can see the police putting the handcuffs on him.
00:09This is just after he confessed to us, a chilling confession that he gave to us
00:12about killing his parents eight years ago in the city of Albany.
00:16Here's a clip from that confession.
00:19How did you do it?
00:20Yeah, I can't talk about that.
00:22Well, you've just told us that it was at your hand.
00:25Were there drugs involved? Was there a suffocation?
00:28You suffocated them.
00:30You suffocated your parents.
00:33Yeah.
00:33That was the best way to take their lives, through suffocation.
00:38Basically.
00:39Which parent did you suffocate first?
00:43My father.
00:44And after he died, my mother put her head on his chest.
00:48And she was there for a few hours.
00:51And then I finished her.
00:54We'll go to J.T. Fetch.
00:55He is live for us at Albany City Court.
00:57That's where he was arraigned this morning, Mr. Krauss.
01:00J.T., what can you fill us in on here?
01:04Yeah, Greg, good afternoon to you.
01:06The justice system moving swiftly in the hour since your exclusive interview with Mr. Krauss
01:11yesterday right here on CBS 6.
01:14Mr. Krauss now facing two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of concealment of a corpse.
01:19And as you said, those charges, they all stem from the deaths of his parents, Franz and Teresa Krauss, who were last seen alive in 2017.
01:28The judge today specifically mentioning the time between January 7th and September 30th of that year.
01:33This all comes after a stunning confession by Krauss himself.
01:36In that exclusive interview with our Greg Floyd, Lawrence Krauss admitting to killing his parents.
01:41He was taken into custody by Albany police outside CBS 6 right after that interview.
01:46The human remains found in the backyard of the family's Crestwood Court home in Albany believed to be those of Franz and Teresa Krauss.
01:53We do know that Lawrence Krauss wanted the public to hear his side of the story and judge him for themselves.
01:59And that is why he apparently gave that exclusive interview to us here at CBS 6.
02:04Now, in the courtroom this morning, he appeared calm and in relatively good spirits, considering the nature of what's happened here.
02:10After the arraignment, we heard from both Albany County District Attorney Lee Kinlan and Krauss' public defender, Rebecca Sokol.
02:17I think the words last night spoken on Channel 6 speak for themselves.
02:21But ultimately, we have to build a case not just on what he said, but physical evidence and witnesses and everything.
02:30So that's the next phase.
02:32And certainly the stuff he said to Channel 6 last night probably is going to provide some additional avenues of investigation.
02:40I do have a lot of questions about the events that occurred yesterday afternoon, about really how that came to be.
02:47Were the police involved, a lot of questions in that front that might take me in different directions in an investigation sense.
