Zaineddin Al Aalak, 21, is charged with second-degree murder as well as an indignity to a body.
Calgary police said the 53-year-old victim allegedly became involved in an altercation with his son at a residence in the 200 block of 90th Avenue S.W. in Acadia.
Police were first called to the southwest home for a check on welfare call late Monday afternoon, Acting homicide Insp. Paul Wozney said.
“Once we attended there, we engaged in some investigative steps at that time, had a conversation with the accused person,” said Wozney. “We re-attended the following morning to ask more questions and to connect some dots.”
Police allege the victim was killed by his son and the body was subsequently dumped at the construction site, where it was discovered Monday. Police would not say whether anyone else was in the home at the time of the altercation.
