A NEW York teenager was accused of killing his mother's boyfriend because he disconnected the family's cable TV connection.
Police said Adruis Ovalles, 15, plunged a knife into the man's chest three times last Friday, despite his mother's desperate pleas to stop, myFOXny.com reported.
Ovalles was arrested on a murder charge in the death of Albert Matthew Hartzog, 26, at the Sonia Sotomayor Houses - a housing project - in the Bronx. Police said the teen punched his victim repeatedly before stabbing him.
The teenager stood in the doorway of the blood-splattered apartment waiting to be arrested as Mr Hartzog collapsed in the hallway, police said.
Ovalles was charged with murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
Mr Hartzog, who worked nights as a security guards at a nursing home, became a new father a month ago.
He reportedly felt Ovalles was freeloading off his pay. When the teen vanished for three days last week, Mr Hartzog cut the family's cable TV connection.
