Man charged with murder in death of father

Grandview Mo Police patchGRANDVIEW, Mo. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City man is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 75-year-old father.

Jackson County prosecutors announced Sunday that 44-year-old Kyle Webb of Grandview was charged after his father, Franklin Webb, died Saturday night. A probable cause statement says Kyle Webb was arguing with his dad over cleaning a leaky pipe when the older man fell.

Webb said he laid on top of his father’s head in an effort to restrain him and stayed that way until the older man lost consciousness.

It was not clear Sunday whether Kyle Webb had an attorney.
