passions run high among the elderly, you know, despite government efforts to put Prozac in our Ovaltine.

You never know what goes on behind closed doors. He might have just snapped...

A Daily Mail news story that fits your criteria eh, sp?

Unfortunately domestic conflicts occur throughout the age scales, and all human beings have violence within them, which fortunately most of us are able to keep controlled.

It is also reported that her husband had serious injuries, we do not know yet how these came about, were they self inflicted or were they inflicted by his wife?

Strangely another such tragedy.

no i don't believe they are.

[emmie]

i wouldn't call being in your 60's old.

[joko]

they are just people like everyone else.

not sure why there always seems to this a perception that all old people are all kindly old dears who bake cakes, knit and weed the garden inbetween games of cribbage.

that generation of oldies is long gone.

dont forget, 70 year olds today were young in the 60s and 70s!
punks, mods and rockers, teddy boys etc
