Slaying suspect says mom threatened him
CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Court documents say a Cedar Rapids man told a 911 worker that he’d killed his mother after she threatened him with a knife inside the house they shared.
The Gazette reported that 44-year-old Edward Cusic told the 911 worker that he’d used a crowbar to beat his mother, 68-year-old Anita Labkon.
Cusic was arrested after police responded to a reported domestic disturbance in the eastern Cedar Rapids neighborhood late Friday night. Officers found Labkon’s body when they arrived.
