News footage shows Jakob Korber being taken into police custody (WTAE).
A Pennsylvania man remains jailed without bond after investigators said he admitted to fatally beating his mother.
Jakob Korber, 29, is facing a criminal homicide charge in the death of his mother, Christin Hamilton, who was discovered Sunday on the front porch of her home in Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania. The Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release that surveillance footage recorded the alleged attack, which authorities say started as a verbal dispute between mother and son before turning deadly.
Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Steve Limani told Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA that Hamilton had been wrapped in a towel, drinking her morning coffee and letting the dog out shortly before her son allegedly assaulted her.
According to local ABC affiliate WTAE, Hamilton’s daughter told responding officers that Korber had allegedly threatened both her and her mother in the days leading up to the killing.
Korber is currently being held without bail at the Westmoreland County Prison. He is due back in court on Sept. 14.
