The Jakarta Post, Associated Press, Pennsylvania, US | Sat, 03/19/2011

Authorities in suburban Philadelphia say a 70-year-old man was stoned to death with a rock stuffed in a sock by a younger friend who alleged the victim made unwanted sexual advances.

According to the criminal complaint, 28-year-old John Thomas told police he killed Murray Seidman because the Old Testament refers to stoning homosexuals.

Thomas was arrested and charged with murder Friday.

Authorities say Seidman died in his apartment in early January. His body was not found for days.

Police say Thomas is the executor and sole beneficiary of Seidman's willl.

He made an appearance in the Delaware County Courthouse on Friday. He had no comment as he was led out of the courthouse.
