Murder Suspect Denied Probable Cause Hearing

A probable cause hearing has been denied for the New Hampshire man who allegedly killed his wife’s lover before forcing her to decapitate him, reports the Associated Press.

In September 2020, 30-year-old Armando Barron allegedly kidnapped and murdered Keene’s Jonathan Amerault, age 25. In October 2020, Barron was charged with capital murder, along with threatening and beating his wife, who has been also been charged in connection to this crime for falsifying evidence.

His attempt at arguing for a probable cause hearing centered around the fact, “the only evidence against him is the word of his wife.”

This request was denied by a judge on Thursday, who noted that this argument was not sufficient enough to receive such a hearing.
