Prosecutors say NY man drowned mother in backyard pool

Lloyd Harbor Police contacted the Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad detectives to conduct an investigation and the homicide squad determined that the mother of five had been drowned. Cullen will be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip. The correct location is Cold Spring Harbor.

Police believe she was intentionally drowned.

Cullen and his mother argued earlier in the day on Wednesday over him not taking his medication, the prosecutor said.

Denis Cullen jnr was arrested on Wednesday after detectives found the body of 63-year-old Elizabeth Cullen in the backyard of their Cold Spring Harbour home in Long Island.

“He said she struggled violently and he was very surprised that a woman of her stature could struggle as much as she did”, Biancavilla said.

“There’s a lot of work to be done”, Cullen’s defense attorney, Steve Fondulis, told the station.

Cullen has a history of drug addiction and mental problems.

It was unclear early Thursday who made the welfare check request.

Sini said Cullen jnr returned to the scene of the crime and cops cuffed him.

Elizabeth Cullen was the sister of retired Gen. George Casey, who was the Army’s top officer from April 2007 through April 2011. She was the daughter of the late Maj.

Not necessarily understood is what led to Denis Cullen Jr drowning his mother and what friction that may have existed between the pair which led to the son seeking retribution? He has no criminal background and cash bail was set for $5 million on Thursday morning.
