Oakland teen charged as adult in parents' slayings Oakland

(01-31) 14:37 PST OAKLAND -- A 15-year-old boy accused of strangling his adoptive parents in Oakland and stuffing their bodies into a car will be prosecuted as an adult, authorities said Monday.

Moses Kamin is to be arraigned today in Alameda County Superior Court in Oakland, pending the formal filing of charges by prosecutors in the deaths of Robert Kamin, 55, and Susan Poff, 50.

The boy could face two counts of murder and a special circumstance alleging he committed multiple murders. He could be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.

Police were called to the family's home on Athol Avenue near Lake Merritt on Friday by a co-worker who was concerned when Robert Kamin, a clinical psychologist, did not show up for work at the San Francisco County Jail.

Officers found the couple's bodies hidden in the back of their car parked outside their home. The car was charred, as if someone tried to set it on fire, police said.

The couple had been having arguments with their son, some of them having to do with him spending too much time in the former Occupy Oakland encampment, co-workers said.
