Police Axe Nicholas Bendle About His Bloody Clothes

Santa Maria, California Talk about thinking twice about being a good samaritan! I understand when you do nice things for people, especially strangers, it’s not necessarily recognized nor appreciated. And with most good samaritans, that makes no difference in why they continue to help people. But I guarantee, the poor guy that came upon 69 year-old Frederick Holgate might tread a bit more cautiously next time he sees a man lying on the sidewalk. And lets face it, it really does speak highly of someone who would assist a person who was viewed as just being passed-out drunk. Hell, in the small city I live in, a young man was left to die on the sidewalk in the middle of winter because everyone who saw him thought he was just passed-out. Who knows? He may have lived had someone taken the time…but with Mr. Holgate, there was no question – he had injuries inconsistent with life.

Nicholas Bendle

As David Drazdic approached the man on the sidewalk, Mr. Holgate’s cane was laying along his body. He knew either he would be helping the man back onto his feet or calling an ambulance. Once he saw beyond the tipped hat he must have realized the coroner and a hearse would be the most appropriate call to place. Mr. Holgate had lost the entire right side of his head. While the police were actually the first to respond they pondered about a possible hit and run accident. But I think the bloody axe found a few feet from the body changed their minds definitively.

Within a short time, police received a call from a woman reporting her son (who had been reported as missing earlier) had returned home covered in blood. And guess what? 20 year-old Nicholas Bendle was arrested for suspicion of murder. The motive is still unclear at this time. Wonder if he’s sane enough to realize he shouldn’t have returned home all bloody?

    Wow! Why did she report a 20 year old missing? Does he have a diminished mental capacity? Did he have a history of mental illness? I’m curious to hear any new developments on this one!
    RIP, Frederick Holgate. You didn’t deserve to die alone on the street like this.

    Frederick Holgate’s daughter turns 21, today! Tragic, that she should be celebrating this milestone in her life, instead she’s in mourning! My sympathies are with Holgate’s loved ones.
    One article reported that the axe found had been taken in a home burglarly about two weeks ago, Strange!

    Carey(Sr.Public defender) told McGregor that he had been prepared to declare a doubt as to Bendle’s mental competency, but that his client has been showing some improvement.

    Carey explained outside court that a week ago Bendle was unable to cooperate, but that it now appears his client is receiving some mental-health treatment.

    He said it seemed that Bendle was experiencing the early adulthood onset of schizophrenia.

    Bendle was to enter a plea, set for Aug.28, but hasn’t done so, I am thinking Bendle is probably going through Psychiatric Interviews…

    I found this just now, seems Bendle has hired an attorney, not using the public defenders office.
    It’s video of Bendles court appearance to announce representation change, still no plea, that should come on Sept. 25th..

    Still no plea, been delayed, once again, Bendle did appear in court,today, though. I am thinking His attorneys strategy is a “Insanity” one, and Bendle is being interviewed by expert psychiatrists.
    He remains in Santa Barbara County Jail without the option of bail.
    No date given for plea hearing. I’ll keep a check on it…..

    Nicholas Bendle appeared in court on Thursday. Despite evidence revealed that he might have been struggling with mental illness at the time of the homicide, Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Edward Bullard ruled that there is enough evidence to merit a murder trial for him. Bendle remains in the County Jail without the option of bail.
