NORWICH, Conn. (AP) A Lebanon man accused of murder says he fatally stabbed a friend of his father following years of abuse.

Police say Alan Nadeau said he was seated on a couch in the living room of his home Sunday when he had ``flashbacks'' of abuse by his father and the victim, identified by police as Christian E. Beloin. He said he retrieved a ``bayonet'' knife from his basement and stabbed the 38-year-old Beloin in the neck.

State police say Beloin of Coventry was asleep on the couch at the time of the attack.

The 31-year-old Nadeau told police he then turned himself into state police in Colchester.

Police say Beloin's death has been ruled a homicide.

Nadeau was arraigned Monday in Norwich Superior Court and held on $1 million bond.
