Son Accused of Killing Mother in Fire | Madison News

A 21-year-old man from New London is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly killing his mother and setting her apartment ablaze to cover it up — a chilling crime that unfolded in the early hours of Tuesday. Firefighters found her body inside, already dead from fatal head and facial injuries, with evidence pointing to a violent attack before the fire was deliberately set in multiple locations. This isn’t his first brush with the law — he was previously charged with first-degree homicide last year, but those charges were dropped after he was deemed incompetent and committed to a psychiatric hospital. He remains there, legally unable to stand trial — and if convicted, could face even longer commitment. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
