WILTON, Conn. – The 22-year-old Wilton man police say they suspect in the death of his father was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation after he was charged with murder at Norwalk Superior Court Friday.
Aaron Ramsey, 22, of 125 Signal Hill Road, was taken into custody and brought to Norwalk Hospital Thursday after breaking into a home on nearby Cheese Spring Road, where he was found “covered in blood” and injured, Wilton Police Chief Michael Lombardo said.
According to the arrest warrant filed by the Wilton Police Department, Ramsey, who is unemployed, had fled his home Thursday afternoon after “beating his father” Edward Ramsey, 73, following an argument.
Aaron Ramsey told police he was hearing voices and had to find out who “the fakers and manipulators are" and that he was "tasked to put people on trial." He got into an argument with his father, in which both men insisted the other one leave the house, the son told police.
Aaron Ramsey told police he struck his father and used his fists, a bench and a “perfect sharp knife” he retrieved from the kitchen. The “voices” told him that his father “has magic powers and can heal himself” and fled the home when the voices said, “They’re coming for you. You gotta run.” When asked who was after him, Aaron Ramsey said “aliens,” police said.
Aaron Ramsey also told police his father did not fight back.
He said he "used his mind" to open a sliding glass door and get into the house on Cheese Spring Road where police found him.
At around 4:25 p.m., Thursday, the victim’s wife, Suanne, called 911, telling the operator, “my husband is in a pool of blood.” Police released the 911 call on Friday.
Aaron Ramsey is being held on $1 million bond.

See we have hope for you yet. I will pray for you. LOL
Please be respectful of the family going through this tragedy. A husband and a father has passed away, and a son and brother is incarcerated under tragic circumstances due to issues regarding his mental health. This was a loving family torn apart by an event in which the young man's perception of reality was greatly skewed by psychological issues that many people struggle greatly with.
This is not a case where there is malicious premeditation, nor were the actions committed by the assailant really understood since his perception of reality was so distant from the truth. If anything he needs many years of help and the correct treatment with in the system.
It is understandable that the general misinformed public will make ignorant comments concerning the case. However, as I began I end: Please be respectful of the family and reserve your judgement until all the facts are presented in open court.
The voices he should be hearing are the correction offices strapping him to a gurney before they put the needle in his arm but that won't happen thanks to the "enlighten" Connecticut politicians.
for once, I agree with timt....go figure, lol
Lock this wacko up and throw away the key!!!!! He will most likely try to use the insanity card, but if I were the judge, I'd let him sit his insane Ass in jail for the rest of his life!!!!!

Its called reporting the news and sometime the news just sucks, but its still the news..The answer is simple Joe06880 if you don't like it don't listen to it. I commend The Daily Westport /Norwalk for reporting the facts unlike that rag thehour, which picks and choose what it reports
Dear The Daily Westport,
You show extraordinarily poor judgement by releasing this 911. It is a question of what is right versus wrong. One day after a case like this is wrong. You should be ashamed of your sensationalist tactics. Business must be very difficult for you to stoop so low. Please consider a retraction and deletion. We are stunned by your poor judgement. Most sincerely, Joe
