A 55-year-old woman was fatally stabbed in Glendale and her 21-year-old son was arrested on suspicion of murder, police said Tuesday.
Officers responded about 6 p.m. Monday to a home in the 500 block of Justin Avenue after a caller reported finding blood inside.
“Officers conducted a check of the residence and located a female in her 50s who was deceased,” according to Glendale Police Department spokesman Sgt. Gaik Pobokhian. “Through the investigation it was discovered the deceased had suffered multiple stab wounds.”
Officers checked the area and found 21-year-old Sebastian Landau seated in a vehicle in the immediate area, Pobokhian said. He was detained, determined to be the victim’s son and the sole suspect in the investigation.
Landau was booked on suspicion of murder. Investigators located the weapon he is believed to have used in the stabbing, Pobokhian said.
The suspect was being held in lieu of $2 million bail, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s jail records.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the case was urged to contact the Glendale Police Department at 818-548-4840.
