Chilling doorbell footage has emerged showing the son of James Handy's girlfriend casually leading police to the front lawn where he allegedly stabbed the veteran Hollywood actor to death.
Suspect's Actions Captured on Video
Authorities say the terrifying 911 call that sparked the response came from 44-year-old Michael Gledhill, who lived with Handy and his mother at their Tarzana, California home.
“I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin,” Gledhill allegedly told dispatchers around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Responding officers discovered Handy, 81, unconscious in the front yard of his Erwin Street residence with a stab wound to the chest.
Security footage obtained by Fox 11 Los Angeles showed Gledhill walking calmly down the sidewalk, with bloody clothes discarded nearby. Moments later, he returned to the house and flagged down officers, allegedly admitting he was the suspect they were looking for.
Police arrested Gledhill on suspicion of murder. He is being held on a $2 million bond. A motive remains unclear, though neighbours reported hearing arguments between Handy and Gledhill overnight. One resident told reporters they believed Gledhill had been suffering from delusions before the attack.

The actor also played Wilton Briggs in the horror comedy Arachnophobia (1991), Woolly in The Rocketeer (1992), the exterminator in Jumanji (1995) and the physician, billed as “Old Doctor,” who treats Hugh Jackman's Logan/Wolverine in the superhero movie Logan (2017).
