Son discovers both his parents slain with a MACHETE on Indian land in Iowa 'at the hands of his troubled brother'

A 25-year-old man has been charged with killing his parents with a machete on the Meskwaki Settlement in central Iowa. Tama County Attorney Brent Heeren says Gordon Lasley Jr. is being held on $2million bail in the murders of Gordon Lasley Sr. and Kim Lasley. A Meskwaki Nation police detective says their bodies were found Wednesday night by another son, Tyler Lasley, who also recovered a bloody machete. The arrest complaint says a Tama County sheriff's deputy found Gordon Lasley Jr. driving his mother's vehicle early Thursday. The 25-year-old was described as having blood on his clothes and the vehicle from cuts to his hands. Lasley has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He is due back in court February 14. According to a criminal complaint, the suspect used a machete to murder his parents in their home on Meskawaki Road at around 9pm Wednesday. When his brother Tyler stopped by to visit his parents two hours later, he discovered his mother's body in the basement and his father lying dead in the living room, police said.
