A Lowell mother of four children was beaten to death with a mallet and her husband is now charged with murdering her, according to the office of Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr.
The woman was identified as 60-year-old Son Tran. Prosecutors allege that she was killed by her husband, identified as 62-year-old The Tran. The husband is charged with murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, prosecutors said.
The Tran is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Lowell District Court.
“This is a tragic domestic violence homicide where we allege the defendant was abusive and controlling over his wife, ultimately bludgeoning her to death in their home,” Leone said in a statement today. “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family, including her four children.”
Prosecutors said Lowell police rushed to the couple's home at 34 Walnut Street around 9:30 p.m. Thursday where they found Son Tran's body. She was pronounced dead the scene.
The Tran was also in the same building and was charged with killing his wife. "It is alleged that the defendant repeatedly beat the victim with a mallet,'' prosecutors said in the statement.
