Well, Massachusetts contributes a 102-year-old woman to the discussion…can someone top that?
You missed the “then commits suicide” part of the story?
Probably one of them love triangle things.
Maybe I’m obtuse but I don’t understand?
Pish. Axes don’t kill people, centenarians kill people.

Ah, but she was 102 when charged with the murder. She was a mere babe of 98 when she actually did the dastardly deed.
He was 12 years older than she was. Those kind of May-December romances never turn out well. She was probably flirting with some 80-year-old at the senior center, who wasn’t even old enough to remember the passage of the 19th amendment, and was still in diapers, when he, her husband was at boot camp, and praying that the US stuck to its non-intervention policies.
:smack:
Damn this speed reading. 
It took place on Easter Sunday?
Was wondering the same thing.
To be serious, and I won’t make a habit out of it – if he could lift it say a couple feet above his target (even if it was a hatchet let alone a full-blown ax) just the weight of it falling blade first could cause some serious damage and/or death to a healthy person. One her age and health unknown? I’m not surprised.
(I was once sheathing a knife and it slipped through my fingers and missed the sheath. It went through my boot and foot. Gravity can be a bitch at times given the right (or wrong) sharp object.)
“I’ll handle this.”
I guess he had an axe to grind.
Given he was the one suffering from dementia, I could think of all sorts of tragic possibilities for how he could kill her with an axe while having an attack, and then come to and see what he’d done…
Henry finally sharpened his axe dear Lisa?
Someone who’s going to commit axe murder probably isn’t paying attention to the date. Plus, you don’t know that they were Christians who knew or cared when Easter was.
give the father forty-one?
