A New Hampshire man with a checkered past has been charged with the murder of a woman in Ossipee, officials confirmed. 38-year-old William Kelly, who has a history of criminal convictions, including a second-degree assault in 2019, is accused of killing 33-year-old Christine Falzone.
On Sunday, a somber scene unfolded as law enforcement investigated what was then deemed the "suspicious death of an adult female" at a resident in Ossipee, as officials from the Attorney General's Office started to unspool the threads of a grim tapestry. According to The Boston Globe, Kelly is facing charges of second-degree murder.
Details on the circumstances leading to Falzone's death were sparse, but the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office stated Monday morning that Kelly "recklessly caused her death by means of homicidal violence." Boston 25 News reported that Kelly is scheduled for arraignment at Carroll County Superior Court in Ossipee on the charges.
While Kelly awaits his day in court, it is critical to remember that the allegations against him are solely accusations at this point, and he carries the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Having found the body inside a home in Ossipee on Sunday, no further details regarding the nature of the killing or possible motives were released to the public. NECN conveyed that authorities are continuing to investigate the incident.
As this story develops, further updates are anticipated, informing the unfolding narrative of a community rattled by an act of violence and the legal journey of an individual with a history intersecting forcefully with the law once more.
