SYRACUSE -- A judge ruled Tuesday that an Elbridge man, who entered an insanity plea in the deaths of his parents, is still dangerously mentally ill. Onondaga County Judge Anthony Aloi ordered Joseph Bisesi III to be held in a state psychiatric facility for the next six months.

Bisesi will continue to receive psychiatric evaluations. Last fall, the 27-year-old plead not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect. He was accused of murdering his parents, JoEllen and Joseph Bisesi Jr. Police say he shot them multiple times and dumped their bodies in a septic tank. It happened at their Sandbank Road home in July.

Bisesi believed he was working with the CIA and that they were the ones who told him to kill his "imposter parents." His family blames Bisesi's mental condition on a bar fight in 2005, in which Bisesi was hit in the head and knocked unconscious. This case was adjourned until August for the next report on Bisesi's mental condition.
