NEW YORK —A US man was charged Tuesday with killing his mother at sea in a bid to inherit his family’s estate.

Prosecutors say 28-year-old Nathan Carman, from Vermont, murdered Linda Carman and sank their boat during a supposed fishing trip off Rhode Island in the northeast of the country in 2016.

Carman also shot and killed his grandfather John Chakalos at the latter’s home in Windsor, Connecticut in 2013, according to a separate, older indictment, prosecutors said.

The new indictment alleges that Carman murdered his two relatives as part of a scheme to obtain money and property from the estate of Chakalos and related family trusts.
