Man accused in brutal motel stabbing sought as person of interest in 4 deaths, child attack

A Louisiana man previously accused of repeatedly stabbing a woman and locking her inside a motel room is now being sought by law enforcement after four people were found stabbed to death and a child was critically wounded.

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet said detectives identified 47-year-old Houma resident Kaegan Jude Solet as a person of interest in the apparent series of stabbing incidents in the Ashland Drive area of Houma.

Deputies were initially called to the 200 block of Ashland Drive, where they discovered the wounded child, according to the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Solet has not been arrested or charged in connection with the latest deaths.

The sheriff’s office stressed that identifying him as a person of interest does not mean he has been accused of a crime.
