An 85-year-old woman and her 58-year-old son were found dead inside their home in Ururi, a town in the province of Campobasso, early this morning around 10:00. Investigators coordinated by the Larino prosecutor’s office are examining the hypothesis of murder-suicide. Neighbors alerted emergency services after noticing no movement or sounds from the residence for several days. Firefighters forced the front door open to allow carabinieri to enter the property on Via Marina. Inside, both bodies lay lifeless on the floor. Initial, unconfirmed accounts suggest the elderly woman was strangled before her son took his own life. However, one report states the woman was found on a sofa while the man had hanged himself. Another possibility under consideration is that the mother died from a medical episode, prompting the son to commit suicide. Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact sequence of events or the specific time of death, which could have occurred days ago given the lack of recent activity. The victims reportedly led a reserved lifestyle. Local mayor Laura Greco arrived at the scene alongside law enforcement and the duty magistrate. Forensic examinations ordered by the prosecution will determine the causes of death and clarify discrepancies in the initial findings regarding the location of the bodies and the method used by the son. The investigation remains active as officials work to reconstruct the final hours within the apartment.
