Police: Man Strangled Mother At Northeast Baltimore Home

Police say a man strangled his mother to death at her northeast Baltimore home.

Officers arrived at around 3:50 p.m. Wednesday to a home in the 5900 block of Glenoak Avenue for a report of a suspicious death. There, police say, they found 63-year-old Cathy Kuhn, the resident, unresponsive.

At the time, no visual signs of trauma were found, so the medical examiner decided against an investigation. At that point, the body was then released to the family and funeral home. It was funeral home staff who found signs of trauma to her neck and head and called police.

Investigation led police to suspect her son, 32-year-old Erich Justin Kuhn of the 3000 block of Hamilton Avenue, in her death. He was arrested Thursday, charged with first-degree murder and related charges and taken to Central Booking.

Police did not offer a possible motive.
