Grim discovery in suspect’s freezer

A 15-HOUR standoff with a man suspected of shooting his neighbour ended yesterday when authorities coaxed him out of his house and made a grisly discovery - a body believed to be his mother stashed in his freezer.

Philip Schuth, 52, was being questioned while authorities continued to inspect his home just outside the city of La Crosse in the US state of Wisconsin.

Schuth shot his neighbour after the man confronted Schuth about striking his eight-year-old son in the head and stealing his bicycle.
