VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A Virginia Beach man has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the killing of his father on Sunday, VBPD said Tuesday.
Seth Seitz, 25, has been charged in the death of Scott Seitz, 66, his father, in the 3000 block of Roebling Lane, according to VBPD.
The criminal complaint filed in Virginia Beach showed that two neighbors grew concerned after they had not seen Scott in a few days. The neighbors went to his home and found the door unlocked, the complaint says.
The neighbors went upstairs and found Scott dead on the floor, "bound clearly against his will."

When police responded, they found a barricaded door where Seth was found with abrasions on his hands and legs, and a sprained, swollen hand, the complaint said.
After an initial investigation, Seth was charged in connection to Scott's death.
Neighbors who live on Roebling Lane did not want to speak on camera but said Scott was known as a handyman for the neighborhood and watched out for others.
Seth was scheduled to have a bond hearing on Wednesday, but it was withdrawn after his attorney requested a competency evaluation.
He is due back in court on Oct. 7.
