CALIF. DAD PLEADS GUILTY TO KILLING 5-YEAR-OLD SON

A California man pleaded guilty Tuesday to killing his 5year-old son after a family trip to Disneyland, setting off a search for the boy that lasted more than two months before his body was found near a lake.

Prosecutors contend Aramazd Andressian Sr., 35, killed his son, Aramazd Jr., to get back at his estranged wife. His lawyer declined to comment about the theory but said the boy’s death was “not planned.”

Andressian entered the plea to first-degree murder to avoid the death penalty, attorney Ambrosio Rodriguez said.
