Police in the south Chicago suburb of Country Club Hills have arrested a 14-year-old boy who fled after allegedly fatally stabbing his stepfather in the neck. Police found the boy Sunday afternoon. Thirty-four-year-old John Weatherspoon’s death Saturday night was the fifth homicide in the community of 16,000 in 10 days. Authorities say he had taken the boy to task over a homework assignment. Mayor Dwight Welch says Country Club Hills previously had three homicides over the last decade, and the current murders are unrelated. Earlier Saturday, authorities charged 27-year-old Jarrett Jones with the strangling murder of his 59-year-old mother, Sheryl Jones. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
