Investigators have discovered that a man arrested for brutally killing his father and grandmother was adopted by his victims.
Dwayne Flourney, 26, allegedly stabbed Sandra Flourney, 76, and his father Brian 52, to death before hiding their bodies in the home and throwing a party on March 10.
Three weeks after the double-murder, it has now been revealed that unbeknown to Flourney he was taken in by Brian and Sandra after being abandoned by his biological mother over 20 years ago.
According to a court document obtained by The Star-Ledger and a series of interviews with relatives and law enforcement officials, the victims raised Flourney as their own and he always believed Brian was his blood father.
Flourney allegedly stabbed his grandmother Sandra repeatedly before stuffing her body in the trunk of a car parked in the garage at the family's home in Maplewood, New Jersey.
He then waited for his father to return from work, killed him in the same way and put his body in a chair on the back porch covered with pillows, blankets and a plastic bag over the head, according to the police report.
The alleged killer then cleaned up the crime scene before inviting friends around for a party, where he played drinking games just a few feet from his father's body, reports The Star-Ledger.
He pushed a table in front of the door to the sun porch to keep his guests from discovering it, officials told the newspaper.

After the killings, Newark residents Linda Smith, 52, and Cornelius Morton, 58, revealed that they are Flourney's biological parents.
They say he was placed into the custody of Smith’s sister, Jaclyn, as a young child. Jaclyn was Brian’s girlfriend at the time.
It is not yet clear how Flourney ended up to be in Brian and Sandra's care and Jaclyn Smith has refused to comment, reports the Star Ledger.
'My son ain’t had no right to do that to him, or his mother,' said Linda Smith, referring to the two victims.
Flourney’s attorney, Bukie Adetula, confirmed that he had never met his biological mother, but knew that her name was Linda or Lynn. He added that his client always believed that Brian was his father, and knew nothing about Morton
