A child has been charged with murdering a mother and her two young children found shot to death in Northfield, New Hampshire, last week, authorities said.
The arrest was announced Thursday by New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella, State Police Colonel Nathan Noyes and Northfield Police Chief John Raffaelly. They didn’t share the suspect’s name, age or other identifying information, citing legal restrictions on sharing information on children charged with crimes.
Asked about the case, New Hampshire Senior Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward emphasized that his office was bound not to share more details. He didn’t say whether the suspect was known to the family or whether searches in different New Hampshire towns turned up any evidence.
He reiterated investigators’ previous statement that they believe they’ve identified everyone involved in the killing.
Police found the bodies of 25-year-old Kassandra Sweeney and her two sons, 4-year-old Benjamin Sweeney and 1-year-old Mason Sweeney, in their Northfield home on the morning of Aug. 3 while responding to a 911 call. Each died of a single gunshot wound, autopsies found.
