Michael Gledhill, the 44-year-old son of Handy\u2019s girlfriend, was seen on a neighbor\u2019s doorbell camera sauntering down the sidewalk away from the front lawn of a Los Angeles home where the actor was repeatedly stabbed in the chest, according to video obtained by Fox 11 Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Gledhill could then be seen returning to the residence \u2014 where he lives with his mother \u2014 when Los Angeles police said he flagged officers down and told them he was the man they were looking for, the video shows.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Police said officers rushed to the home around 9:30 a.m. Thursday after a 911 caller horrifyingly claimed\u00a0 \u201cI am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Handy, 81, was found unconscious and bleeding from a stab wound in the chest outside the home. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
