After his arrest, Scully-Powers told police he stabbed his father approximately 15 times in the back, neck and torso, switching knives because the blades were bending.
A New York suburb was in shock on Friday over a gruesome murder that saw a 32-year-old man stab and kill his father, who was attending a Zoom conference that included about 20 participants.
After his arrest, Scully-Powers told police he stabbed his father approximately 15 times in the back, neck and torso, switching knives because the blades were bending, according to prosecutors. “This is a shocking and disturbing case,” Suffolk District Attorney Timothy Sini said in a statement. He ran to a nearby deli and allegedly began pouring Dr. Pepper soda on himself in a bid to wash off the blood.They also found evidence at the apartment, which Scully-Powers shared with his father, of apparent attempts to clean the scene, including a mop and bucket in the bathroom along with a blood-soaked bed sheet found in a garbage bag.
Prosecutors did not provide details about a possible motive. The man’s lawyer, Jonathan Manley, entered a plea of not guilty, local media said.If convicted, he faces a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
