SAN LEANDRO
Arrest in bizarre death of mother
A 37-year-old San Leandro man has been arrested for involuntary manslaughter after he pushed his 69-year-old father with such force that the father's head smashed into his 66-year-old mother's face, causing fatal injuries, police said.
The suspect, Herson Thant, got into a fight with his father, Soe Tin, about 7 p.m. Thursday at the family home on Fisk Court in San Leandro, San Leandro police reported. The parents, who emigrated from Burma in July, lived at the home with Thant and his wife, police said.
In a dispute apparently over the father's intent to leave home with packed bags, Thant pushed Tin, whose head banged into the face of the mother, Nyien Aung, police said.
The mother was rushed unconscious to San Leandro Hospital after Thant called 911. She was pronounced dead at 8:30 a.m. Friday, according to police.
Thant, who is being held in the San Leandro Jail, was booked also on charges of elder abuse and false imprisonment of the father, police said.
