Husband stabbed Marvelous Mrs Maisel set designer to death, then left their baby son with body and went to park to hang himself, as it’s revealed his brother is also a murderer
A husband stabbed his wife, Marvellous Mrs Maisel set designer Mary Kate Golding, to death in their Astoria, New York home, leaving their baby son with her body before going to a nearby park and hanging himself. The killing has shocked colleagues in the television industry and neighbours in the Queens community, and has drawn renewed attention because it emerged that the husband, Joseph Azzaretto, has a brother who was also convicted of murder.
Golding, who worked as a set designer on the acclaimed Amazon series, was found dead at the family's Astoria home, with their infant child left near her body. Azzaretto was later discovered in a nearby park having taken his own life, and investigators are treating the case as a murder-suicide. The revelation of a second violent crime within the same family has added further disturbing context to the case, which remains under investigation by local authorities.
