A 52-year-old New Orleans man was arrested Saturday and booked with first degree murder after he confessed that he stabbed his mother to death earlier that day for money to buy narcotics, according to New Orleans Police Department spokesman Garry Flot.

Tony Declues said he stabbed 73-year-old Louise Declues to death at their home in the 1300 block of Cambronne Street for drug money, Flot said.

Second District officers responding to a call of a female down inside of a home found the victim with apparent multiple stab wounds about 3:15 p.m., Flot said. Emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene and pronounced her dead, he said.

Detectives questioned Tony Declues and within hours he confessed to the crime, Flot said. Homicide Detective Ryan Aucoin booked Declues with first degree murder.

While he might be a real nice guy, if only drugs were illegal, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.

Another drug related murder in New Orleans. A society that is so addicted to a drug that they kill to get it deserves their fate.

Swedish Lutheran, to be exact. I think I sat next to him at the last lutefisk dinner. A shame how far he’s sunk.
