Son in custody after woman's remains discovered in Bucks Co. condo

Blood on the walls and the home in a state of disarray. That's what court documents claim officers found during a welfare check at a Bucks County home where a woman's body was discovered.

Law enforcement officials in Bucks County are still awaiting the results of an autopsy after the body of a woman -- who court documents identified as 82-year-old Dolores Ingram -- was discovered in a condo unit in Northampton Township over the weekend.

But, officials claim, Ingram's son is in custody after he was involved in an altercation with police officials in Washington D.C. where, police allege, he admitted to his mother's slaying.

According to police, officers in Northampton Township were contacted by officials in Washington, D.C. and asked to check on a home along along Beacon Hill Road on Sunday.

Here, officials said, they found the remains of Dolores Ingram. Police said she appeared to have suffered severe head trauma.

Court documents note that a man named William Ingram, 49, was recently arrested by police in Washington, D.C. on allegations that he assaulted an officer and damaged a police car.

While in custody, police claim, Ingram admitted that he killed his mother, leading officials there to contact police in Bucks County in order to conduct a check on her home.
