KINGS PARK, N.Y. — Police said a New York man has killed his grandmother after they argued over what TV show to watch.
They said Clarence Newcomb was arrested Friday at the home he shared with 82-year-old Kathleen Newcomb in Kings Park, on New York’s Long Island.
Suffolk County police said a man called them at 4:35 a.m. to report the woman was lying on the floor. Officers said they found her dead.
Medical officials haven’t determined how she died. No weapons have been recovered.
