NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. — A valedictorian who allegedly killed his mother with a baseball bat only 10 hours before he was to be graduated from high school said she wouldn’t “give him any freedom,” police said.
William Shrubsall, 17, was arraigned Monday on a charge of second-degree murder and was being held in the city jail without bail.
Shrubsall beat his 56-year-old mother, Marianne, to death Saturday morning after an argument over his late return from his girlfriend’s house, Detective Lt. Richard Clute said.
