McKINNEY, Texas (TCD) -- A 39-year-old father stands accused of fatally stabbing his 9-year-old son before turning the knife on himself.

According to a news release and press conference from the McKinney Police Department, a person called authorities at approximately 4 p.m. on Jan. 6 and said their neighbor found her son unconscious and bleeding. Officers responded to the 700 block of Anson Court, where they forced entry and found the woman’s husband, Ponnazhakan Subramanian, harming himself.

Subramanian’s 9-year-old son was reportedly found in the garage suffering from multiple stab wounds and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
