Maggio family drama 1934

Post by ItzPurpleAki »

Does anybody have more info on the situation that occurred within the Philadelphia Family in 1934 when member Michele Maggio killed his wife and son?

He caught his son Joseph from a previous marriage in bed with his second wife in their summer home and killed them both. His three children from that wife, including future member Peter, were in the house and saw their father right afterward.

He likely would have been obligated by the mafia to kill them as honor killings were a rule at the time especially when it came to infidelity by a wife. In this case it was even more egregious.
