Charles Tan Indicted On A Murder Charge

A 19 year old man accused in the shooting death of his father in Pittsford earlier this month has now been indicted. A Monroe County grand jury has indicted Charles Tan on one count of Murder in the 2nd degree in the death of 49 year old  Liang "Jim" Tan.

The district attorney’s office says that Jim Tan was killed in their Coachside Lane home sometime between February 5th and February 9th. Deputies were called to the house on the evening of February 9th and found Jim Tan dead at that time.

Charles Tan’s lawyer has claimed that his client, a student at Cornell University, had suffered years of abuse by his father.

Tan is now being held in county jail and is expected to be arraigned next week.
