webfact Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Prosecutor: 100-year-old man killed wife with ax, then selfELMWOOD PARK, N.J. (AP) — Prosecutors say a 100-year-old man apparently killed his wife with an ax as she slept in their home, then killed himself in the bathroom with a knife.But it's still not clear what sparked the murder-suicide late Sunday in Elmwood Park.Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli says there was a "history of domestic issues" between Michael Juskin and his 88-year-old wife, Rosalia. But he said a motive for the attack remains under investigation.Police officers found the couple in their Spruce Street home after relative — who was not in the home — called authorities. The deaths were made public Monday.Authorities do not believe anyone else was in the home when the attack occurred.Neighbors told The Record newspaper that they often saw the couple out and about — Michael Juskin walking a dog and his wife tending to her garden — but said they kept to themselves.Barbara Szczecina, 65, who lives down the block, said she saw Rosalia sitting on her front porch around 10 a.m. Saturday."She used to be in her garden all the time," Szczecina said. "They were always together, putzing around outside."Family members who were at the home on Monday declined to comment on the deaths.-- (c) Associated Press 2015-04-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just1Voice Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well, if he was a "Christian" in his beliefs, he just gave himself a double whammy. First by killing his wife. Second by his own suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementia, or perhaps knowledge that one had a critical illness and would not last much longer. The worse that can happen for those of limited means is a public senior living facility.

NeverSure Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It's quite sad in my eyes. To have gone for 100 years and then snap - something doesn't add up here. Do American's use OXO gravy on their mash? Since this happened in No Joisey, I hope not. They can't cook any better than the British can. You have to go to the deep south in the US to get good sausage gravy. I wonder what happened here. I always wanted to die at 100 years old, but killed by a jealous husband.

Us Americans can recognize people out who dont deserve to live. We are smart like that. I was never "crazed" about them, but while in America, I did own a few guns. What does not feel right here and makes me curious, is your claim to be an American. "Us Americans can recognize people out who...." I lived in America for over 58 years and never met an American who spoke or wrote in English the way you do! Why do you pretend ( poorly ) to be someone or something you are not? and claim to know about something you do not know about? Very curious indeed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post arjunadawn Posted April 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2015 Very unAmerican not to use a gun. Hope I can still lift an axe at 100 years old! What a clever anti gun rant. However, your point only reinforces that guns do not kill people, people kill people. I encourage you to continue speaking out on this topic! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willyumiii Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Seriously, I can see that after 100 years, the quality of life has probably deteriorated to the point that you could be justified in deciding that enough is enough. I believe we all have the right to check out if the time and circumstances are right to do such a thing. But an Axe??? There are so many ways to go that are easy, painless and not so messy! RIP, to both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
