BOSTON — (BOSTON) -- Shockwaves from the gruesome home-invasion slayings in the Boston area of three elderly members of a devout Catholic family have reached Pope Francis at the Vatican, a priest told grieving parishioners at a service held for the victims.
During a Tuesday night Mass of peace at the Our Lady Help of Christians Church in Newton, Massachusetts, Rev. Dan Riley said Cardinal Sean O'Malley, archbishop of the Archdiocese of Boston, called him from Rome to inform him that he is praying for the victims' family with the pope.
Terrance Donilon, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Boston, confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday that O'Malley and Pope Francis prayed together for the victims of what O'Malley described in a statement as"brutal and senseless murders." The single murder count is based on an autopsy by the state's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which ruled 73-year-old Jill D'Amore's death to be a homicide, Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Nicole Allain said in court.
Middlesex County District Attorney Ryan disclosed at a news conference this week that the autopsy performed on Jill D'Amore determined she suffered more than 30 stab and blunt force trauma injuries, primarily to the upper part of her body and head. The prosecutor also said investigators found obvious signs of an intense struggle in one of the bedrooms of the D'Amore home, including broken furniture and a crystal paperweight covered in blood.
