A 42-year-old man is accused of killing his 68-year-old mother, according to San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies.

Around 7 p.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a home in the 15500 block of Sherri Lane in Apple Valley. The area is at the base of the foothills, north of Horsemen’s Center Park and east of Joshua Road.

When deputies arrived, they found Beth Ann Kahkosko inside a home on the property. She suffered injuries to her head and face and died at the scene, deputies said.

Joshua Adam Kahkosko, the woman's son, was identified as the suspect. He was not at the scene when deputies arrived.
