Prosecutor: Bergen Man, 100, Killed Wife, 88, Then Self

A 100-year-old Elmwood Park man killed his 88-year-old wife with an ax before taking a knife to himself in their Bergen County home late Sunday night, authorities said.

Michael Juskin murdered his wife, Rosalia, on the first floor of their home, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said on his Twitter account.

After the slaying, the elder Juskin took his own life with a knife in the bathroom of their Spruce Street home, Molinelli said.

Molinelli said on social media that the couple had a history of domestic issues, but there was no known motive in the murder-suicide yet.

The investigation is ongoing. Patch will provide updates when they become available.
