A Rhode Island man is charged with the murder of his parents, who were found in their back yard cesspool.

Police arrested James Soares, 24, of Warren. The arrest was made after officials found the bodies
of 60-year-old James Soares Sr. and 53-year-old Marian Soares in their septic tank on Saturday.

Police believe the couple's son killed his parents with a garden hoe on July 9.

Police wouldn't say what led them to dig out the cesspool with a back hoe Saturday morning,
or any injuries found on the bodies.

Family members reported the couple missing on July 15 after they didn't show up for a family reunion.

James Soares Sr. had a criminal record after pleading no contest to drug possession charges in 1986.

In 2002, police seized guns and 30,000 rounds of ammunition from their house.

James Soares later served a year of home confinement in that case.

Gheeze....

1. 30K rounds?

That's a lot of ammo. Maybe they need to take away his well-worn copy of "Red Dawn".

3. The Dad (?) had 30,000 rounds of ammo?..... maybe he treated the kid like shit?

And so the kid put him in the shitter permanently?


On edit:

On 3rd read, it looks like the Dad had a drug conviction and the son had the ammo.

My bad.

2. Who was he expecting, the Chinese Army?

4. Maybe he was a black market gun/drug dealer?

:shrug:

Doesn't sound like a happy home although all the neighbors said "they were a quiet family".

7. If my dad ran around the house armed to the teeth, I'd have been rather quiet, myself!

9. I'm confused as to who had the ammo... it looks like it was the son.

The Dad had a drug conviction and I think the article
could be written more clearly. It needs improvement!

5. When are people going to wake up and outlaw garden hoes?

*wringing hands*

How could the Founding Fathers have foreseen this???

:(

6. I guess he ran out of ammo !

:shrug:

8. When hoes are outlawed, only outlaws will have hoes....
