On Wednesday, District Associate Judge Emily Dean held the preliminary hearing of 29year-old Garrett S.

The murder weapon, a Les Paul electric guitar, was discovered at the scene.

Paramedics and law enforcement officers arrived at the indicated address after several minutes. Upon reaching the location, the authorities sighted an individual, Garrett Selters, pacing up and down in front of the Lincoln Street house.

Visibly distressed, the individual confessed that he had murdered his mother. More than that, the man admitting to hearing a high-pitched voice before the killing occurred, which he described as resembling a little girl’s voice. He also claimed hearing chainsaws.
