Son charged in father’s death at their Ambler home

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Maximillian Han has been charged in the December 23rd death of his father at their home on Hood Lane in Ambler (Upper Dublin Township).

From the Inquirer:

When Upper Dublin police arrived at house on Hood Lane shortly before 2 p.m., Jinhan Han, 58, was unconscious on the living room floor, bleeding from injuries on his face and head consistent with a beating, according to a criminal complaint. First responders tried to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead.

All around were “signs of a struggle and blood at several locations within the living room,” the document says. Blood was found throughout the house. It appeared that someone used towels to clean the area around Jinhan Han’s body, where detectives also found a box-cutter. In the kitchen, police said, was a butcher knife with a broken blade tip.

The son admitted to police that he beat his father to death. The Inquirer article can be read here.
