An actor accused of hacking his mother to death with a sword was arraigned Friday (Dec. 3) from a hospital prison ward on charges of second-degree murder, reports the AP.
Wearing a light green gown, Michael Brea did not speak or enter a plea. He was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon after investigators found him in the bedroom of his apartment with a 3-foot sword. His mother, Yanick, was found on her knees, hacked to death in their blood-spattered bathroom Nov. 23.
