And this was never more evident after two brothers from what looks like a handsome middle-class family living on the Atlanta outskirts, remain in jail since their arrest almost a week ago when they made an unsuccessful attempt to kill their parents, Yvonne and Zachary Ervin. Police believe that they mixed Xanax into their parents’ cocktails in order to prepare for the attack.

Police say 17-year-old Cameron Ervin and 22-year-old Christopher Ervin tried to blow up their parent’s home using candles and natural gas on September 5.
Although the reason for the checked brutality still isn t transparent, the men have advised private investigators they had a troublesome family life.
The parents who police say were brutally attacked by their sons inside their metro Atlanta home spoke publicly for the first time on Friday.
Yvonne Ervin also told police the boys were acting unusual the night before the attack. “We understand there are consequences for what they did, they understand that, but we’re just praying that the world forgives them the same way that we forgive them”. One of the sons “wanted to cover up the evidence by setting the house on fire”, the document said.
Both brothers are being held in the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.
“We forgive our sons, we love them unconditionally”, he said. “And we had to make sure that they understand that”, Yvonne Ervin said.
His wife added, “God has done miraculous healing with us”.
