A McKinney man in custody in connection with the stabbing death of his 9-year-old son on Friday has been identified, McKinney police say.

Pannazhakan Subramanian, 39, was arranged Sunday on a charge of capital murder of a person under the age of 10 and is being held on a bond of $1 million.

Subramanian remains hospitalized for self-inflicted wounds after being taken into custody Friday.

It's not clear if Subramanian has obtained an attorney. If convicted of capital murder, Subramanian faces either life in prison without parole or the death penalty.

In a statement, McKinney Police revealed early details in the investigation of an incident inside a home on the 700 block of Anson Court on Friday.

Police said a neighbor called 911 at about 4 p.m. to report a woman finding her son unconscious and bleeding inside the home. Officers forced their way into the house and found the woman's husband trying to hurt himself with a knife, the statement said.

The 9-year-old child was found dead in the garage with what appeared to be multiple stab wounds. Police said an instrument believed to be the weapon was also found near the boy's body.

"We continue to keep the child's mother and their entire family in our thoughts and prayers during this unspeakably difficult time," McKinney police said in a statement.
