Wilton man charged with murder in fatal stabbing of father’s neighbor
A man is facing a murder charge after allegedly stabbing his father’s neighbor to death in Wilton on Tuesday, police said.
The Wilton Police Department received a 911 call around 11:15 a.m. on Tuesday stating that a man found his neighbor dead. Officers responded to a home on Partrick Lane and found a man in the detached garage stabbed multiple times. The man was identified 39-year-old Arinzechukwu Ukachukwu, according to police.
The 911 caller told police he saw Ukachukwu being assaulted in his driveway as he looked out his window. The witness said the suspect appeared to resemble his son, Sebastian Andrews, 31, of Wilton. The witness said he then went to the Ukachukwu’s home and found him dead in the detached garage and called 911, according to police.
The officers went to Andrews’ home on Indian Hill Road and established a perimeter. Andrews surrendered to officers and was detained without incident, police said.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Andrews charging him with murder. He is currently being held in lieu of a $1 million bond and was set to be arraigned at Stamford Superior Court on Wednesday.
“Our deepest condolences are extended to the victim’s family and loved ones in wake of this tragic incident. Please respect their privacy as they deal with this unthinkable loss,” Wilton police said in a release on Wednesday.
