An affidavit says that Andrew Balcer, 18, who is accused of killing his parents, is the one who called 911 on the night of the killings.

Andrew Balcer, 17, appears in court for a brief hearing as the state tries to have him prosecuted as adult in last month’s killings of Antonio and Alice Balcer.

Andrew Balcer, 17, is charged with killing his parents, Antonio and Alice Balcer, but few details, including cause of death, have been released.

Family members and friends mourn Antonio and Alice Balcer, and express shock at the arrest of their 17-year-old son as the suspect in the killings.

Described as ‘a very good kid,’ Andrew Balcer, 17, of Winthrop is ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation as a suspect in the deaths of his parents.

Police say Antonio and Alice Balcer were slain in their home, and an attorney scheduled to represent their 17-year-old son, Andrew, says the boy has been charged.

It takes firefighters about half an hour to extinguish the fire.
