Man, 31, Charged With Killing Mother

PORTLAND

A 31-year-old man was charged yesterday with stabbing his mother to death in her northeast Portland home.

Police spokesman Dave Simpson said authorities were called to the house about 12:30 p.m. after the victim's husband found the woman's body in a back bedroom.

Simpson identified the victim as Dorothy Delozier, 69. Her son, Gary Delozier of Portland, was arrested at the scene and charged with murder.

The husband of the victim and father of the suspect, Clyde Delozier, was working in the back yard at the time of the stabbing, Simpson said.
