A 34-year-old Cape Cod man is charged with murder in the death of his mother after first responders found a body set on fire outside a Truro, Massachusetts home.
Adam Howe is charged with murder and authorities said the evidence suggests the victim is Susan Howe, his mother, according to Cape & Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Truro Police Chief Jamie Calise.
Authorities said they responded to the home in Truro around 9:30 p.m. Friday after receiving a request for a well-being check and a separate report of a fire.
According to authorities, when they arrived, they found a man outside the house and a fire on the front lawn.
“As the emergency personnel realized that it was a body that was burning, the male subject ran into the house and locked the door,” the joint statement from O’Keefe and Calise said.
Video from the scene located off Quail Ridge Road showed Massachusetts State Police investigators, along with members of Truro and Wellfleet police outside the rural home.
