100-year-old man kills wife with axe, then himself

Prosecutors say a 100-year-old man has killed himself after killing his wife with an axe as she slept in their home.  Reports say it is unclear what sparked the murder-suicide last Sunday in New Jersey.

Bergen County Prosecutor said there is a history of domestic issues between Michael Juskin and his 88-year-old wife, Rosalia, but the motive for the attack remains under investigation.

Police officers found the couple in their home after a call from a relative.
