Coming in multiple numbers, murders catch one's eye; but it is the very singularity of homicide that continues to astonish and always will.

Man discovers father slain in Monte Vista home. (San Antonio Express-News)
more at the linkSAN ANTONIO A man who went to check on his father on Christmas discovered the 77-year-old man had been slain in the kitchen of his Monte Vista home Wednesday afternoon.
San Antonio police said it had been a couple of days since the man had heard from his father, Wayne Bowden, so he decided to stop by on Christmas. About 2:30 p.m., he unlocked the front door of the home in the 100 block of Queens Crescent and found Bowden dead in the kitchen.

There was obvious blunt trauma to the head, and we did find forced entry, said the detective, who didn't want to be named because it wasn't his case. There was a side window that had been broken.
It was unclear whether anything had been taken from the house and exactly when the crime occurred, other than sometime between Friday and Wednesday, the detective said.

Police had no suspects or motives several hours after Bowden's body was found, and officials said while there had been some holiday-related break-ins in the area, they didn't seem to be related to Bowden's death.
