PHILADELPHIA - A Pennsylvania man has been charged with murder after his father was found fatally beaten inside the family's home this week.

Authorities say the battered and bleeding body of 58-year-old Jinhan Han was found Monday afternoon by his wife in their Ambler home.

The elder Han died from multiple blunt and sharp injuries.
