A family of three were found dead in a Roxbury home on Justine Place Tuesday morning and were killed in a murder-suicide according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll. Authorities found the bodies of 57-year-old Peter Ventricelli, his wife 58-year-old Kellie and son 15-year-old Anthony Tuesday morning about 10 a.m. during a welfare check which was requested by a family friend at the home on Justine Place in the Succasunna section of Roxbury according to prosecutors.
