In an unfortunate turn of events, a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, along with another family member, were tragically stabbed to death in what appears to be a random attack. The bodies were discovered in their home in Newton when they failed to show up at church on Sunday morning. Law enforcement officials are concerned that the perpetrator or perpetrators may still be at large, prompting nearby residents to stay vigilant.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan expressed the heartbreaking nature of the incident, stating, “Two of the individuals were celebrating a golden wedding anniversary this weekend. As you can imagine, this would be tragic on any day. To have family gathered for this kind of a celebration makes it particularly tragic.”
Preliminary investigation reveals signs of forced entry, indicating that the victims were targeted by an intruder. Reverend Dan Riley of Our Lady Help of Christians shared that the couple’s 50th anniversary was supposed to be celebrated during the 10 a.m. Mass with a blessing after communion. He refrained from disclosing details about those who discovered the bodies but mentioned that he and several staff members remained at the scene throughout the day.
The three victims were described as “beloved parishioners” by Reverend Riley, emphasizing their genuine and kind-hearted nature. Additionally, authorities are investigating a possible connection between an attempted break-in half a mile away from the victims’ residence and the incident.
