Opera legend Jubilant Sykes, 71, was found stabbed 73 times at his Santa Monica home—killed by his own son, Micah, 32, who’s now facing murder charges. The medical examiner ruled it a homicide, citing a curved knife and a 10-pound dumbbell as weapons. Sykes’s wife, who heard the attack and called 911, says Micah, with a history of mental illness, attacked his father while she was in the shower. Micah interrupted his own court appearance to demand his mother’s presence—she’s protected by a no-contact order—and is currently held without bail. Toxicology confirmed no drugs in Sykes’s system, and authorities say there’s no public threat.
