(Learfield) A southeast Minnesota man is now charged with second-degree murder in the death of his father last Friday near Zumbro Falls.
Court documents show 44-year-old James Riley admitted to hitting 73-year-old Edward Riley with a hammer a couple of times before stabbing him. Riley told detectives he used a tractor to put his father’s body in the trunk of a car.
His wife later found Edward’s body covered with a tarp. Deputies said James claimed that his father was mean to everyone.
His bail is set at $250,000.
