A 100-year-old Elmwood Park man whose family said he suffered from dementia killed his 88-year-old wife with an ax as she slept, before taking his own life with a knife, according to authorities, becoming one of the oldest people ever accused of homicide.

I'm impressed a man at that age could lift an axe.

I'm sure he wouldn't have had to lift it that high. Gravity would have done the trick. Story is pretty crazy.

It took him 100 years to finally snap. That's pretty impressive.

I'm sure her skin was easy to cut.

I think this is incredibly sad. Why someone with recognizable dementia would be left with an 88 year-old as his attendant baffles me.

I wonder if he axed her if it was OK for him to ask her while she slept.

Let's cut through the chase and admit that your thread title was a hack job. Should have clarified Elmwood is Not Metry/river ridge area--instead, you chopped off the NJ.

Sounds like he had an axe to grind with her.
