US prosecutors say a 100-year-old man apparently killed his wife with an axe as she slept in their home, then took his own life in the bathroom with a knife.

Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said there was a “history of domestic issues” between Michael Juskin and his 88-year-old wife, Rosalia.


But he said a motive for the attack remains under investigation. Police officers found the couple in their Spruce Street home after a relative — who was not in the home — called authorities.

The deaths were made public on Monday.Authorities do not believe anyone else was in the home when the attack occurred.

Neighbours told The Record newspaper that they often saw the couple out and about — Michael Juskin walking a dog and his wife tending to her garden — but said they kept to themselves.
