"... in the death of Todd Swantek, 49, whose body was found May 24 in the Frackville home the two formerly shared.
Police said Friday that Frackville officers called to the home to check on the welfare of the older man, who hadn't been seen since the end of March, detected a foul odor and found the decomposing body on a first-floor couch covered in blankets and a sleeping bag with pillows over the head...
...A high-powered Ruger .177 caliber pellet rifle found in Tyler Swantek's bedroom appeared to have blood splatter on the stock and barrel, and the pellets were consistent with wounds in the victim's skull, Bell said...
The defendant hadn't allowed people inside the home since the middle of April and had asked a friend to buy him incense and scented candles, neither being normal behavior on his part, Bell said.
At the home, police saw numerous scented candles and air fresheners as well as a fly strip and blankets placed at the base of exterior doors."
Dude shoot his old man...with a pellet gun... then leaves his body to rot on the couch....
