| Eugene Maraventano, 63, killed wife and son over HIV fear |
A man charged with killing his wife and adult son in Arizona, saying he feared he may have contracted the AIDS virus from prostitutes years earlier and given it to his wife, according to reports.
Eugene Maraventano, 63, has admitted to police that he stabbed his wife Janet to death with a 14 inch kitchen knife as she slept in their bed. He then described that he also killed his 27 year old son, Bryan, as well in the double homicide case.
The man said that he used to frequently visit prostitutes when he worked for a rail line in New York many years back, and he worries that he may have caught the HIV virus during that period.
Eugene made several unsuccessful suicide attempts after the killings and called authorities Saturday to say he had carried out the stabbing deaths a few days earlier, police said.
