"Episcopal priest’s son charged in death of parents, 5-year-old boy" Associated Press February 05, 2015
HOUSTON — The son of an Episcopal priest has been charged in the killings of his parents and his 5-year-old brother at their Houston apartment, police said Wednesday.
Israel Ahimbisibwe, 51, his wife, Dorcus, 47, and their son Israel Jr. were found dead in their apartment Monday morning.
Authorities arrested Ahimbisibwe’s son, Isaac Tiharihondi, about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday in Jackson, Miss. The 19-year-old remained jailed in Mississippi pending extradition to Houston. He has been charged with two counts of capital murder.
According to court documents, Tiharihondi had told his family he had joined the Marines and was about to report to duty Friday.
But his parents thought he was lying and had planned to confront him about this before they were killed, according to an affidavit. Police said the Marine Corps had no record of Tiharihondi ever enlisting.
Authorities allege Tiharihondi beat the victims with a lamp, a baseball bat, and a hammer..
Israel Ahimbisibwe, who served as vicar at Houston’s Church of the Redeemer, was described by friends and parishioners as a humble and caring man who had come to the United States after fleeing the violence of Idi Amin’s regime in his native Uganda.
