69-year-old Father Brutally
Murders His Own Son for Being Homosexual (Photo)
A man highly disgusted with his
son's sexual orientation has committed the most heinous crime while meting out
punishment to him.
The Los Angeles County
prosecutors on Friday alleged that he committed the crime because his son was
gay.
The district attorney's office
said Shehada had allegedly threatened to kill his son, Amir, in the past
because of his sexual orientation.
"The murder was committed
because of the victim's sexual orientation and because of the defendant's
perception of that status and the victims' association with a person and a
group of that status," prosecutors said in a statement.
The son's body was found outside
a North Hills house while Issa's wife was found stabbed to death inside the
house.
Police said Issa told them that
he had come home and found his wife's body in the bathroom. He said he shot his
son in self-defense because the young man was threatening him with a knife.
According to Daily News,
Detective John Doerbecker said: "He claimed the son was armed with a
knife, and there was no knife to be found there. It was a horrible family
tragedy."
Issa is being held without bail
pending his arraignment on April 11.
