A Massachusetts couple celebrating 50 years of marriage were found dead in their home—stabbed and badly beaten—after failing to turn up at church for a ceremony to renew their vows.
Killed along with them at the house in the wealthy Boston suburb of Newton was a woman in her nineties who was said to be the mother of one of the couple.
The gruesome triple murder in the early hours of Sunday prompted an appeal for residents in the area to “lock your doors and windows” while police hunt down the killer.
