Patricide: The New Normal Normal
Calif. - Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey told Action News Now that the weapon used in the murder of Jerry Anderson of Oroville was a two-pound engineer's hammer, also known as a baby-sledgehammer.
It is suspected that mental illness was a factor with the main suspect, Tyler Anderson, according to Ramsey. There are also indications of previous violent crimes by Tyler.
There was a call for domestic violence in Nov. of 2017 at the Anderson household. According to Ramsey, Tyler punched his father in the face.
Tyler's mother was outside the home at the time of the homicide. When she came inside she immediately called 911 telling authorities that her son killed her husband.
Tyer is expected to be arraigned on first-degree murder charges on Monday at 3 p.m.
