NEW CASTLE, Pa. — Police in western Pennsylvania say a man who was on parole for a previous homicide stabbed his girlfriend’s 7-year-old son to death during a domestic dispute.

Tuesday’s manhunt for 43-year-old Keith Burley fanned out after the child was killed in a home in New Castle on Monday night. Police say a second child fled to a neighbour’s home.

The victim’s name has not been released.

State police say Burley should be considered armed and dangerous.
