London: A man is in serious trouble after his dad died just after Christmas. Craig Chaters, 37, showed up at the Old Bailey, facing murder charges.
His father, Larry, was taken to the hospital with some pretty bad injuries, including broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Sadly, he passed away on January 2.
Prosecutors say Craig allegedly attacked his dad, who was vulnerable, leading to those injuries. It’s a tough situation, and it sounds like things got really violent.
During the hearing, Craig was emotional, crying as he joined via video link from prison. The judge has set a plea hearing for March 26, with a trial expected in October.
It’s a heartbreaking case, and the judge has ordered a pre-trial hearing in October too. For now, Craig remains in custody as the legal process unfolds.
