Double murder of elderly couple in Wolverhampton devastates family

THE family of an elderly couple found murdered in their home on Good Friday have spoken of their “devastation” at their murder.

Italian-born Guiseppe and Caterina Massaro, 80 and 77, were found by a relative at their home in Woden Road, Wolverhampton, on Friday night.

A murder inquiry is under way and police are still trying to track the movements of the couple’s car, which was missing from their address.

In a tribute released through West Midlands Police, the Massaros’ family said they could not “begin to grasp the evil” that took place in their home.

The statement comes as it emerged a relative found the couple dead in their ransacked bedroom.

A police spokeswoman said the investigation involves detectives from the force’s major investigation unit, forensic specialists and local neighbourhood officers with house-to-house, CCTV and forensic enquiries.
