MAPLEWOOD, NJ ? A North Jersey man fatally stabbed his father and grandmother inside the family?s home last weekend, and then threw a house party at the residence while both bodies were still there, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Dwayne Flourney, 26, of Maplewood, faces two counts of murder, along with theft and weapons charges.

Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray said Flourney repeatedly stabbed his 76-year-old grandmother, retired schoolteacher Sandra Flourney, on Saturday and stuffed her body into the trunk of a car at the home.

When Brian Flourney, 52, returned home later in the day, Murray said, his son fatally stabbed him and put the body in a chair on a sun porch in the back of the house and covered it with a sheet. Brian Flourney was an investigator for the Union County Public Defender?s Office.

At a news conference Wednesday, Murray would not comment on a possible motive for the slayings. She said a knife was found at the home, but would not provide details.

Hours after the killings occurred, Dwayne Flourney invited several friends over to the house for drinks, authorities said. Murray said it did not appear any of the partygoers knew of the deaths or that the bodies were in and near the house.

Dwayne Flourney then left the home Sunday, driving off in his father?s car, the prosecutor said. Murray said he was arrested Tuesday night at the home of a female friend in Phillipsburg.

The arrest came a few hours after the bodies were found at the home. Police had gone there after Brian Flourney failed to show up for work.

Flourney was being held Wednesday night at the Essex County Jail. His bail was set at $1 million, and an arraignment was tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.
