Novara, Nov 9 (IANS/AKI) Police have arrested a 50-year-old man in northern Italy who allegedly suffocated his disabled son before trying to gas himself in the family apartment.
Police found the man's 20-year-old son dead at the apartment in the town of Vespolate near Novara and his father unconscious in the kitchen.
A relative who had been expecting the man and his son for dinner on Monday raised the alarm after no one answered the door at the apartment.
