A man has been charged with murder in connection with the death of his grandmother in Easton, New Hampshire, the attorney general’s office said Saturday.
According to Attorney General John M. Formella, officers responded to the scene of the suspicious death of an adult woman at a home on North Peak Drive in Easton around 11:40 a.m.
Responding officers found Cynthia Lanchester, 76, deceased on the ground with a blunt force trauma wound.
Lanchester’s grandson, 23-year-old Joshua Lanchester, was arrested and will face one count of manslaughter for recklessly causing the woman’s death, the New Hampshire AG’s office said late Saturday night.
Joshua Lanchester is being held without bail and will be arraigned at Littleton District Court on Monda.
An autopsy on Cynthia Lanchester’s body will also take place on Sunday.
“Additional information will be released as it becomes available, while protecting the integrity of the investigation,” New Hampshire’s attorney general said in a statement.
