Westborough man accused of killing his mother remains held for psych evaluation
MARLBOROUGH — A Westborough man who is accused of luring his mother to the Holiday Inn earlier this month to kill her remains at Bridgewater State Hospital.
Daniel Uhlman, 53, appeared last Wednesday in Marlborough District Court. A judge ordered him sent back to Bridgewater State Hospital for another 20 days for further psychological evaluations.
Uhlman is accused of beating, attempting to stab and ultimately running over his 82-year-old mother, Nancy Uhlman, on June 1 in the back parking lot of the Holiday Inn on Lakeside Avenue (Route 20), killing the woman.
Uhlman, authorities said, told police that he had called his mother to the hotel, where he had been staying since May, to kill her.
Uhlman, who had previously served two and a half years in prison for stabbing his mother repeatedly in the face and abdomen in 2014, is charged with murder; armed assault to murder a person older than 60 years old; two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury; and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a person older than 60.

Psychologist testifies Uhlman cannot assist in his defense
During his arraignment on June 2 in Marlborough District Court, a forensic psychologist testified that she believed that Uhlman, in his current state, could not assist in his defense. She said Uhlman has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is a client of the state Department of Public Health. She said Uhlman told her he stopped taking his medication 20 days prior to the incident.
He was ordered held without bail and sent to Bridgewater State Hospital for the evaluation.
