'Grown up son' is most certaintly not LV, cos he's dead. As I 
understand it the 'grown up son' is LV's father, and 'Mr & Mrs 
Riddle' are LV's grand parents. (Apparently after dumping his wife 
Tom Riddle moved back in with mum and dad).

This event happened 'half a century ago', i.e. when LV was on 
holiday from Hogwarts, and does not kill his half brother, but his 
father as said above.

As mentioned in another post Voldie would now have blood of his 
father and bone of his enemy instead of viceversa, so would have 
some dna of dad, so maybe could work.
