NARRAGANSETT, Rhode Island (AP) — A Rhode Island man is charged with murder after his mother was found dead in a home this week, police said.

Bryan Wilson, 27, of Narragansett, is charged with second-degree domestic murder and violating a protective order, Narragansett Police Chief Sean Corrigan said in a statement.

Wilson was arraigned Tuesday in 4th Division District Court. A status conference was scheduled for Oct. 9 and the case was referred to a grand jury.

On Monday at approximately 1:26 p.m., police officers responded to 97 Inkberry Trail for a report of a woman who had died under suspicious circumstances.

When officers arrived, they found the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers took a suspect, later identified as Wilson, and the victim's son into custody.

The victim's identity is being withheld pending formal identification and notification of next of kin.

An investigation is ongoing and there is no threat to public safety, Corrigan said.
