Early inquiries point to signs of a forced break-in at the dwelling.
The triple murder in Newton is now the center of an active investigation led by both Ryan and Newton Police Chief John Carmichael.
The gravity of this violent crime has shaken Newton’s law enforcement.
Chief Carmichael emphasized, “We are stepping up our efforts, bringing in additional personnel, dispatchers, and enhancing patrols to address the situation.”
Possible Linked Incident?
Investigators are looking into another incident for a potential connection to the triple murder in Newton’s Nonantum village.
On Sunday morning, just prior to 7 a.m., police were alerted to an attempted break-in at a Brookside Avenue residence, situated approximately half a mile from the murder scene.
The homeowners did not immediately contact the police, only doing so after realizing the gravity of the situation.
Ryan issued a plea for heightened awareness from the public, especially residents of Nonantum and Newtonville, during the ongoing hunt for the triple murder perpetrator.
