Bond Denied For Suspect In Mark Costello's Stabbing Death

A judge has denied bond for an Oklahoma City man accused in the deadly stabbing of his politician father at a fast-food restaurant.

Christian Costello attended a bond hearing Tuesday via a video link from the Oklahoma County Jail. He showed no emotions.

Linda Wyaco is the bailiff for Judge Russell Hall. Wyaco says Hall would probably deny Costello bond because of the seriousness of the crime.
