A 45-year-old upstate New York man has been charged with the murders of his elderly parents last week.
Fort Plain police said they were called to the home just after 4 p.m. last Friday “for a reported homicide.” They did not say who called them, but when they arrived, officers found a suspect in the driveway and took him into custody.
According to WRGB, Robert G. Robbins Jr. made the 911 call, telling dispatch that he’d just killed his parents with a hammer.
Inside, police said, officers found the bodies of 78-year-old Robert G. Robbins Sr. and 76-year-old Mary A. Robbins.
Robbins Jr. was charged with two counts of second degree murder.
He was arraigned this week and remanded to the Montgomery County jail without bail.
