«Breaking News» Son of former federal prosecutor pleads no contest to running him over then killing him with an AXE

The son of a former federal prosecutor has pleaded no contest to murdering his father with an ax.

Frank X. Altimari, 32, pleaded no contest on Tuesday to second-degree murder and malicious wounding in the slaying of 61-year-old Nicholas Altimari at his home in Chesterfield County, near Richmond, Virginia.

Nicholas and his wife Felipita Altimari had just returned home from dinner out on November 4, 2017, when Frank pulled into their driveway and rammed the couple with his car.

Frank Altimari then used a double-bladed ax to strike his father more than 40 times as his stepmother begged him to stop. She suffered a broken leg.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys agree Frank Altimari was mentally ill at the time, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He'll be sentenced next year.

Nicholas Altimari served the eastern district of Virginia as an assistant U.S. attorney from 1992 to 2003. 

The suspect was named after his grandfather (above), who served on the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals until his death in 1998

Frank Altimari was named for his grandfather, a former New York Supreme Court justice and federal judge. 

On November 4 of last year, cops were called to Nicholas Altimari's home on Black Heath Road, off Old Buckingham Road, only to find the body waiting for them.

'Upon their arrival officers located [Nicholas Altimari's] body deceased in the driveway,' a Chesterfield Police spokesperson said at the time. 

'An adult female on scene supplied police with suspect information. The adult female, who was also injured in the incident, was transported to an area hospital where she was treated and released.'

Frank Altimari was then arrested at his home in Richmond, Virginia, around half an hour's drive from his father's house.

Nicholas Altimari was slain here, cops said. The stepmother was injured in the attack and was taken to hospital

He graduated from the University of Virginia in 2010, worked as an analyst for law firm Brown and Greer from 2010-2012, then started as a project manager at Capital One in 2013. 

Neighbor Rob Carter said the Altimaris were close, and that the arrest made no sense to him. 

'I still find the whole thing bizarre and abstract,' he said. 'I can't really process it.'

Todd Stone, a legal analyst for CBS 6, said that he met Frank around 1999, when he and Nicholas spent around a year prosecuting a case.

'He struck me as a very nice polite young man, but it was many years ago, that's what it's all the more shocking to me,' Stone said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
