Overview
- Sebastian Van Stockum, 20, appeared in a Connecticut courtroom Monday after his arrest Friday on a murder charge.
- A state prosecutor told the court the victim was bludgeoned to death, while the woman has not been publicly identified.
- Police were dispatched around 10:36 p.m. after reports of a man yelling in the woods, then received a 911 call from a Gerdes Road home in which a man said he killed his mother.
- Responders attempted life-saving measures at the home, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Van Stockum is held on $2 million bond with his next court date set for Nov. 3, and authorities say they will release no further details because the case is domestic in nature.
