The man charged with killing his father will again undergo a mental evaluation before both sides proceed with his preliminary hearing.
David Blakeney Jr. was charged with murder after officers found his father, David Blakeney, lying unresponsive and unconscious with multiple stab wounds in a bathtub.
According to charging documents, Blakeney Jr. told a relative “He alright, he in a better place, he is good now,” regarding his father.
When Blakeney Jr. was brought by police in the interrogation room, police reported that Blakeney “appeared to drink his own urine” and talk to himself as if he were having an “imaginary conversation with his mother” during which he said his mother killed his father.
He is next due to appear in court on May 30.
