Author Karyn Kay Killed by Her son Henry Wachtel

The teenage son of an author was charged with murder on Tuesday night for savagely beating her to death with his fists, according to police.

Karyn Kay, 63, died hours after calling police to tell them her 19-year-old son, Henry Wachtel, was hitting her.

After responding to an emergency call, police found Kay lying in a pool of blood on her kitchen floor with a fractured skull, broken eye socket and broken ribs.

It is believed that Wachtel, who was found covered in blood, did not use a weapon in the deadly attack.

Kay, who taught English-writing at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in Manhattan, allegedly called police at 9.30am this morning as she tried to help Wachtel, who was suffering from a seizure.

A police source said that Kay was heard screaming during the 911 call as her son allegedly began pummeling her. Read More
