Man Tells Police There Might Be Body In His Home
State College, Pennsylvania -- Officials said a man who walked into the police station told them there might be a body in his house. And when officers went to his home in State College, they found a man bludgeoned to death on the kitchen floor.
Andrew Rogers, 28, was arraigned Tuesday on first- and third-degree murder charges and was held without bail.
Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira said the victim had been struck at least a half dozen times with a wooden rolling pin, at least twice with a beer bottle and nearly a dozen times with a wooden baseball bat.
Police are withholding the victim's identity pending notification of his relatives in Korea.
Officials said a bloody baseball bat was found near the kitchen doorway of Rogers' home and bloody clothing was in a hallway.
State College Police Chief Tom King said drugs also were found in the home.

Man Tells Police He Woke Up On Top Of Dead Body
State College, Pennsylvania -- The lawyer for a State College man charged with the murder of a man found bludgeoned to death in his home said it could be a matter of self-defense.
The lawyer for Andrew Rogers, 28, said his client was being robbed in his own home, and a person has the right to use deadly force when that happens.
Rogers reportedly told police that he, the alleged victim and a third man were in his apartment on Feb. 23. Police said Rogers confronted the third man after finding him looking through some cash, and a fight ensued.
Police said Rogers said he woke up to find himself on top of the victim. On Monday, he went to a police station in Uniontown, more than 100 miles away, and said there might be a body in his kitchen.
