Man charged with father's murder after reporting death as a suicide

TRAPPE, Pa. (WPVI) -- A man is charged with murdering his father, months after he allegedly reported the death as a suicide.

Investigators said inconsistencies with Justin Wilson's story and physical evidence, led them to doubt his original claims.

Kevin Wilson, 61, was found dead from a gunshot wound inside his home in Trappe, Montgomery County in the early morning hours of February 1st.

Police say the 23-year-old son purchased the gun used in the killing just a few weeks earlier.
