A rising country music superstar's mother, 62, has been stabbed to death in her own home.
RadarOnline.com can reveal Spencer Hatcher's mother, Holly Hatcher, 62, was murdered in an attack that also left her husband, 65, injured.
The Nightmare Home Attack
The country singer's mother was killed in the attack.
According to local reports, Kevin Moses Walker, 41, murdered Holly before also attacking her husband, Michael, in Virginia on August 3.
After getting a gun from his car, Michael shot Walker dead before police found his body on the driveway.
Following the deadly attack that reportedly started around midnight, mystery still surrounds the reason, as cops claim there is no connection between the suspect and victims.
"This is a highly unusual, apparently completely random attack (by) an individual with no known history of violent behavior of any kind, or even criminal behavior of any kind," Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson said in a joint video statement with the couple's son.
Sheriff Hutcheson added: “This investigation is still ongoing with RCSO and VSP both working very hard on discovering all of the facts and highly unusual circumstances involved in this violent and tragic crime."
Before the fatal home attack, Walker did not have any history of criminal behavior.
Sheriff Hutcheson, who has known the family for years, said: "I've been in law enforcement for 31 years, and I have never seen anything like this in my entire career."
Due to Walker being dead, no charges will be filed, but the investigation is still ongoing.
Speaking Out After The Attack
Following the attack that left him with injuries, Michael Hatcher released a statement.
Following the attack that left him with injuries, Michael Hatcher said in the statement: "There's going to be questions that will never be answered, but all I can tell you is we've cried, we've hurt, and we've hugged, and we have found more love than we have ever known has existed between us, and between you."
He also expressed gratitude towards law enforcement who helped him navigate this tragedy, saying: "You have made it much more bearable through your outpouring of love and your caring and your kindness and support to all of us."
