Son charged in slaying of priest, wife, child

From Houston-

On the final Sunday in January, Isaac Tiharihondi stood in front of the congregation at the Church of the Redeemer, where his father was an Episcopal priest, and declared before God and the world that he would be sworn in as a U.S. Marine within days.

A dozen parishioners swarmed the 19-year-old to lay hands on him and prayed for his safe return.

But Tiharihondi had not enlisted, and would be confronted about his lies two days later by his parents.

It was then, investigators believe, that Tiharihondi would use a hammer, a baseball bat and a kitchen knife to fatally bludgeon his parents and stab his 5-year-old brother in their Memorial-area apartment. He would later use his family's credit cards to flee the state, according to court records.
