Houma Family Stabbings: Kaegan Jude Solet Investigation
Houma · Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana
Legal status: Kaegan Jude Solet faces four first-degree murder allegations and one attempted first-degree murder allegation.
Four adults died and a six-year-old boy was seriously injured in an alleged stabbing attack in the Ashland Drive area. The sheriff’s account dates the response to September 12, 2026. This file distinguishes arrest allegations, a proposed grand-jury presentation and any later indictment.
Editorial standard: Charges and police accounts are allegations. Each defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Reported settings, attorney arguments and court findings are identified separately.
02 | Victim background
Family identifications name Verna Mae Verdin, her daughter Letha Verrett, her son Paul Verret, and Paul’s girlfriend Krissy Lynn Parfait. The surviving child’s name is withheld. A September hospital update is historical and is not presented as his current condition.
