Prosecutors say a 100-year-old man apparently killed his wife with an ax as she slept in their home, then killed himself in the bathroom with a knife.But it’s still not clear what sparked the murder-suicide late Sunday in Elmwood Park.

Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli says 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 relative – who was not in the home – called authorities. The deaths were made public Monday.

Authorities do not believe anyone else was in the home when the attack occurred. Neighbors 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. Barbara Szczecina, 65, who lives down the block, said she saw Rosalia sitting on her front porch around 10 a.m. Saturday. “She used to be in her garden all the time,” Szczecina said. “They were always together, putzing around outside.”

Family members who were at the home on Monday declined to comment on the deaths

A history of domestic issues???? Certainly takes them a long time to straighten out their marital difficulties...

[brooklin]

He must have had enough of the nagging.

The Human mind is amazing. Notice how most of the posters here resorted to gallows humor in order to cope with the thought of such an horrendous act?

Wait: He is 100 but she is only 88?

Niiiiiiiiiiice.

Only 12 years? I guess I won't tell you how much difference there is between me and my wife, but it is a TAD more than 12 years.

RE “...a motive for the attack remains under investigation....”

He axed her a question, and she couldn’t hack it...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sickoflibs]

When you’re 100 there is not much they can do to punish you, just visit a few nursing homes to see how nature can punish those who live too long.

[GOPsterinMA]

Sad but true.

[NFHale]

Well... they said he was an “edgy” kind of guy.

Into “cutting edge” technology, I hear...

[NFHale]

Ok, all kidding aside (yeah.. I know.. THIS, from me...)

Maybe he was just sick of it all and figured “Today’s the DAY!”

Who knows what’s going on in someone else’s mind, to perpetrate a thing like that.

[sickoflibs]

Most people if even alive at 100 couldn’t pick up an ax.

[Impy]

This was a murder-suicide so punishment is up to God.

“He axed her a question, and she couldn’t hack it...”

Cut to the chase, please ....

[NFHale]

I’m still trying to get past the idea of a 100 year old guy weilding an axe.

A handgun, yeah...

[stephenjohnbanker]

My grandfather could carry around cement blocks at nearly 100. Life long horse rancher in Colorado, and strong like bull !

[NFHale]

That should be:

“He STRONG!!! Like RUSSIAN BULL!!! DA!!! Keep MANY Siberian women happy on Cold Night!!!! Except Ludmilla... she have bigger mustache den Stalin!!!”

(Nikolai-speak...)

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yeah, he would have passed on Ludmilla : )

[NFHale]

She BIG woman... everywhere...
