CINCINNATI AXE MURDERER 

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, A CINCINNATI MAN WHO KILLED HIS FATHER WILL REMAIN IN A PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY.
YESTERDAY (THURSDAY), HAMILTON COUNTY COMMON PLEAS JUDGE PATRICK DINKELACKER RULED FOR THE THIRD TIME THAT 26-YEAR-OLD JOSEPH RUDD IS METALLY INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL. COURT RECORDS SAY HE CUT OFF HIS ANKLE MONITOR AND MURDERED HIS FATHER, TROY RUDD, WITH AN AXE WHILE THE MAN WAS ASLEEP. POLICE REPORT NUMEROUS CALLS FROM THE HOUSE REGARDING THREATS OF SUICIDE AND VIOLENCE IN THE DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE INABILITY TO RESTORE MENTAL COMPENTENCY MEANS RUDD WILL REMAIN IN THE PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY INDEFINITELY.
