Top Gun actor James Handy’s long-time partner has shared what happened on the morning her son allegedly killed her long-term boyfriend.
Wendy Gledhill, who had been with Handy for more than 30 years, told the Daily Mail that she heard him open the front door to get the newspaper at 9 a.m. on June 3.
She says 30 minutes later, LAPD knocked on her door. “They said someone had called 911 and they told me someone was wrapped in a blanket outside the house,” she said.
Gledhill’s son, Michael, 44, who had been living with the couple and suffers from schizophrenia, has been charged with one count of murder.
Gledhill said her son had stopped taking his medication a week earlier but that she has no idea what sparked the altercation.
A police report states that Michael was the one to call 911 and said, “I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin.” Police say Handy, 81, was unconscious and bleeding from a stab wound to the chest when first responders arrived at his Tarzana, California, residence.
He was pronounced dead in hospital. “I was with James for 31 years and of course I loved him dearly,” Gledhill said. “This is so difficult.”
