No Remorse: Son Played Video Games After Murdering Dad, Cops Say

The Delaware County man accused of killing his father after a dispute over a small amount of money did not show "any remorse" when speaking with authorities after admitting to beating and stabbing his father to death, according to authorities.

Roubert Coult III, 30, of Yeadon, is accused of beating and stabbing his father, Robert Cout Jr, 59, also of Yeadon, to death sometime between Friday, Sept. 14 and Saturday, Sept. 15 inside their shared home at 10 W. Providence Road, then dumping the body at the Philadelphia Country Club on Spring Mill Road in Gladwyne.

Coult III has been charged with homicide, first- and third-degree murder, possession of an instrument of crime, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence, after allegedly beating and stabbing his father to death then trying to dismember his body and hide it, according to court records.

In a press conference Monday announcing Coult III's arrest and charges, Yeadon Police Chief Anthony Paparo said Coult III did not show remorse for his actions after admitting to the killing.

"I did not see any remorse yesterday while I was dealing with him," Paparo said Monday.

Authorities said on Saturday, when a woman who was living at the Providence Road home arrived with her boyfriend after being out overnight Friday, Coult acted normally and played videos with the boyfriend, just hours after the death.

Action News reports, Coult Jr.'s brother said Coult III was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at a young age, subsequently spent time under a psychiatrists' care, and had been admitted to the psych ward at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital on several occasions.

The outlet also reports Coult III recently stopped taking his medications and had previous altercations with his father, according to family members.

Additionally, acquaintances of Coult III said he would make death threats on social media posts and in drawings, but police did not act on those alleged threats, Action News reports.

Yeadon Police have been previously called to their Providence Road home for domestic disputes, however neither son nor father had any arrest records, Paparo said.

Delaware County District Attorney Katayoun Copeland said Monday that Coult III "brutally" bludgeoned and stabbed his father to death and tried to dismember the body with an electric saw to hide it.

He took his dad's clothes off and put a fresh T-shirt on him, put him in his vehicle, and took him to Lower Merion where he dumped the body, accordingto Copeland.

Copeland said Coult III event seat belted his father into the vehicle and laid his head against the headrest.

Coult III also admitted to dumping evidence, including bloody towels and clothes, in Haverford Township, police said.

Authorities said when they searched the Providence Road home, they found blood spatter someone attempted to clean up, as well.

Coult III remains in custody after being denied bail at his Sept. 17 preliminary arrangement, court records show.
He is slated to appear for his preliminary hearing on Sept. 25, according to court documents.

Coult III faces a life sentence.
