A 30-year-old Cameroonian man
killed his 66-year-old Italian adoptive mother because she would
not meet his increasing demands for cash, police said after
arresting the man Monday.
The man, Caleb Ndong Merlo, reportedly suffered from gambling
addiction and money problems, was charged with murdering Paola
Merlo.
The woman was found dead at home last Tuesday and the man
said he found her that way after a fall.
Investigations by the flying squad and an autopsy have proved
differently, police said.
