Anyone know the story of one Porter Charlton, an American bank clerk who married an older woman with the name of Mary Scott Castle? She at one time worked as a model and later an actress. They were married in 1910 and went to spend their honeymoon in Italy. While there Porter and Mary got into a big fight, they had both been drinking. He hit her several times in the head and neck area with some kind of mallet. Thinking she dead, he then placed her body in a trunk and dumped it into Lake Como! The next day the trunk was found floating in the lake by several fisherman. Apparently Mary was still alive when she had been put into the trunk and thrown into the river. She then suffocated after biting her tongue in two places. Porter escaped to America where he was caught and brought back to Italy to face sentence.
As I understand it, he was sent to an asylum as he was found to be a "psychopath". Does anyone know what happened to Porter? I'm assuming he died in the asylum.
