A 37-year-old man was arrested Monday for allegedly killing his 16-year-old son with an angle grinder, causing "deep lacerations" all over the teen’s body. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd spoke at a press briefing Monday, Sept. 4, and shared details about the "horrific" incident that occurred at a mobile home in Lake Wales. According to Judd, the victim, Stephen Rodda, lived with his grandfather, Thomas, while Thomas' wife was in rehab. Thomas' son and the suspect, Stephen Thomas Rodda, was also at the residence that morning. On Monday at about 8 a.m., Thomas Rodda left to go visit his wife at rehab. He got home about three hours later and saw Stephen Thomas Rodda outside, who allegedly told Thomas Rodda, "I wouldn’t go in there if I was you. I killed someone. You may need to call the police." Thomas Rodda went inside the home and found his grandson Stephen Rodda deceased in the dining room.
