On March 18th, a man was arrested after telling law enforcement that he was guilty of killing his father with a hammer. Police went to the home in Chatsworth after receiving a call and they found a man dead inside. Rather than making up an excuse, the son of the dead man freely told the police that the man was his father and that he had died because of a hammer blow to the head. The father was pronounced dead at the scene and, following this odd confession, the man was taken into custody. So far, no names have been released and it remains to be seen what exactly took place in Candice Place, Chatsworth.
