James Handy Death: Michael Gledhill, Son of Actor’s Girlfriend, Charged in Fatal Stabbing
New information has emerged regarding the death of actor James Handy.
Two days after the 81-year-old was killed, his girlfriend’s son Michael Gledhill was charged with fatally stabbing the actor outside his mother’s home in Tarzana, Calif., on June 3, according to a June 5 press release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.
Gledhill, 44, was charged with one count of murder “with a special allegation that he personally used a deadly weapon, a knife.”
L.A. County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman reflected on Handy’s death in the press release, saying, “This is not how anyone’s life should end, stabbed in the chest and left dying in the front yard of a home.”
“The victim, James Handy, deserved to live out his later years enjoying what he had worked so hard for and enjoying it with those he loved and cared about,” he continued. “Like all murder victims, his life mattered and the person who inexplicably and violently took it must be held accountable for his actions.”
