A 24-year-old woman, Brynn Comtois, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder after the fatal stabbing of her mother, Cheryl Stoddard, in Seabrook, New Hampshire. Officers found Stoddard, 45, dead from an apparent stab wound following a 9-1-1 call. The Attorney General's office stated that the charges are merely allegations, emphasizing Comtois's presumption of innocence. An autopsy was scheduled for Stoddard as authorities continue their investigation into the incident.
"The charges against Brynn Comtois are only allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty," the AG's office said.
Seabrook police responded to a 9-1-1 call around 11:18 p.m. on Sunday to the Rockingham Village Apartments, officials said. There, the officers found Cheryl Stoddard, 45, dead with an apparent stab wound.
An arrest warrant was issued for Stoddard's daughter, Comtois, on Monday and the 24-year-old was arrested.
An autopsy on Stoddard's remains was scheduled to take place Monday. The investigation into her death is ongoing, the AG's office said.
