Moses Levi, 56, told Alaska State Troopers during an interview that he had been cutting moose and drinking with his 32-year-old son Peter Levi when they took a break, according to an affidavit filed with criminal charges. Peter Levi threatened his father while they were on the porch, Moses Levi told investigators.
Moses Levi said he grabbed a knife because he was afraid of his son, but told troopers he did not intend to stab him, the affidavit said. After the stabbing, Moses Levi went to a church, which is where troopers located him, it said. Moses Levi’s wife reported the stabbing at the community clinic and a clinic employee went to the home and found Peter Levi dead, the affidavit said.
Moses Levi was arrested Friday on charges of first- and second-degree murder. He is being held at the Yukon Kuskokwim Correctional Center. Lower Kalskag is a community of just under 300 people located about 26 miles west of Aniak on the Kuskokwim River.Tess Williams is a reporter for the Anchorage Daily News, focusing on breaking news.
