WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts man is accused of killing a man whose body was found beaten inside his burning home.
The Telegram & Gazette reports 29-year-old Brayan Flores was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 53-year-old David Carlson.
Police found Carlson’s body on July 25 after firefighters extinguished a blaze at his Worcester home. An autopsy found he died of blunt force trauma to the head and neck. Police say Flores beat him with a large wooden dowel.
Prosecutors say the men were in a dating relationship.
A not guilty plea was entered on Flores’ behalf at an arraignment Tuesday. He has been in custody since an Aug. 29 hearing.
