A man was arrested in Bologna
Friday on suspicion of murdering his elderly mother.
The woman was initially thought to have died a natural death.
The man confessed to strangling his mother, 85-year-old
Elvira Marchioni, in a fit of rage and then staging the scene to
look like she had died of natural causes.
The 58-year-old draughtsman, Bruno Grandi, was her only son.
"I couldn't take it any more," he reportedly told police,
saying he had been "worn out" by caring for her.
