Nothing about him being unemployed, which is surprising because employment status is almost always there. Let me venture and guess that his mother told him to get a job, maybe even go out and meet people and he was like, ,"What for?" and it escalated from there. Poor woman. Gave life to the person who was going to take hers.

Nothing new here. Family murders are as common as shootings in Chicago.

Maybe he is suffering from a serious mental disease, and that is why his name has not been made public.
