A man has been found guilty of murdering his mother and stepfather in a "horrendous attack" at their home.
Anmol Chana, 26, had denied murdering Jasbir Kaur, 52, and her husband Rupinder Bassan, 51, at their home in Oldbury, West Midlands, in February.
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court heard how both victims were stabbed "ferociously" multiple times, each suffering more than 20 injuries.
Chana, of Hamilton Road, Smethwick, is due to be sentenced on Friday.
During his trial, the court heard how the defendant had stolen money and a car from the couple after he murdered them, before contacting an escort and calmly playing pool in a pub.
Det Insp Hannah Whitehouse, from West Midlands Police, said it was a "horrendous attack".
"I think it is quite chilling that having murdered these two people in cold blood he then stole money from them, took their car and stole that as well and then used that money to try to buy a plane ticket and leave the country," she said.
"In amongst that he went for a drink in a pub and made phone calls to escorts as well, and that just really compounds the violence of the crime by virtue of its lack of remorse."
The court heard Chana had made previous threats against his mother and sister and had a "history of fascination with knives" dating back to when he was 16.
"The violence that has been used in committing these murders was really, really horrific, the scene was horrific," Det Insp Whitehouse said.
"Having pieced together his actions in the run-up to and post offence, I think it just reinforces the cold-blooded nature of what he did."
