Campobasso: mother and son found dead at home in Ururi, murder-suicide hypothesis

An 85-year-old woman and her 58-year-old son were found dead this morning, around 10, in a house in via Marina in Ururi, in the province of Campobasso.

Some neighbors called for help, suspicious because they hadn't noticed any movement or heard any noise from the house for days. Firefighters forced open the door to allow entry.

The police and the magistrate on duty at the Larino Prosecutor's Office, responsible for the area, are verifying the hypothesis of murder-suicide. According to an initial reconstruction, yet to be confirmed, the fifty-eight year old strangled his mother and then took his own life. The dynamics and timing of the deaths remain to be ascertained. The mayor of the town Laura Greco was also on site.
