A man was arrested in the Idylwood area of greater Falls Church last week after he was found in the home of his father who had been stabbed and killed, according to police.

Fairfax County police said that Alexander Bellini, 28, of Chantilly, is facing charges of second degree murder and violation of a protective order while armed with a deadly weapon.

Alexander was in the 2300 block of Watters Glen Court home of his father, Christopher Bellini, 59, when police said they arrived around 1 a.m. Thursday morning.
