A Williamston man has been charged with torture and domestic violence against his now deceased wife.

Elise Palazzolo was found dead in her home in May of 2021. WLNS reports that while a medical examiner could not determine a cause of death, police found evidence suggesting her husband, Christopher Palazzolo, abused and tortured her prior to her death.
Christopher Palazzolo was also allegedly made death threats toward his wife and son.
In court Tuesday, prosecutors requested that he not be allowed to see his son, but that request was denied by the magistrate.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for Tuesday October 4 at 8:30 a.m.
