Days after being released on bail, a 28-year-old Pittsburgh man is suspected of killing his dad over an argument about not being fed.
Christopher Hudak has been charged with criminal homicide in connection with the fatal stabbing of his 64-year-old father, James Hudak, at their Pennsylvania home, police said, according to WPXI-TV.
Hudak was out on bail on a fleeing charge after allegedly leading officers on a high-speed chase on I-79 on Sept. 19 in Harrison County, West Virginia, the outlet reported.
Four days later, he allegedly stabbed his father to death back in Pittsburgh because he was hungry and not being fed.
His grandmother told police Hudak called her Monday to complain about his hunger, when James grabbed the phone and explained his son had just eaten.
Then, "the phone went dead," she told police, adding her grandson may have been experiencing a mental breakdown at the time, according to WDTV-TV.
Responding officers found James dead on the scene from multiple stab wounds to the chest, the station reported.
During police questioning, Christopher alleged, "I had to defend myself," according to court records.
