A Pennsylvania man allegedly beat his mother to death at their home on Sunday morning before news crews caught dramatic footage of the moment he surrendered to police on the side of the road.
Christin Hamilton was found by her daughter beaten and naked outside her home in Swickley Township at around 9 a.m., CBS reported.
Authorities allege that Hamilton’s 29-year-old son, Jakob Korber, beat his mother to death earlier in the morning, just as she was starting her day.
Hamilton was wearing a towel and stepped outside to let her dog out when her son confronted her – and then allegedly began his hour-long assault that authorities said was recorded by a camera in front of the home.
“It’s a horrific thing for what the victim had to go through, and it’s disgusting to watch,” Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Steven Limani said.
According to police, it appeared that Korber went to sleep in a nearby field after the assault.
The alleged killer was then seen walking on a road near the house around 5 p.m., where he was met by police and taken into custody.
Dramatic footage of the arrest captured by KDKA shows the scraggly son walking up the road with his hands in his pockets, wearing a hi-vis vest, grimly eyeing the camera.
He’s then met by state troopers, who cuff him after he puts his hands behind his back and surrenders to cops.
Korber has been charged with criminal homicide, according to the Westmoreland County DA’s office.
