Mother and son found dead in their home in Molise

A mother and son were found dead in their home in Ururi, in Molise. The discovery was made this morning after neighbors raised the alarm, having not seen the two for several days — she was 92, he was 60. Carabinieri and firefighters are working on the scene. The Larino prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the incident. According to people living nearby, mother and son led a very private life. The deaths may date back a few days. Work is underway to reconstruct what happened inside the house. The woman was found lifeless on a couch, while the man hanged himself. Among the hypotheses are a murder-suicide, but also that of a death from the elderly woman's sudden illness and the son's subsequent decision to take his own life. Examinations of the bodies, ordered by the prosecutor's office, will clarify the doubts. Reproduction reserved © Copyright ANSA
