"Amanda Dabrowski, the 31-year-old Webster native who was fatally stabbed at O’Connor’s Restaurant & Bar July 3, allegedly by a man she had dated briefly, had done everything right.
She had gone in April to police in Ayer, where she was living, after a violent home invasion and attack, allegedly by Carlos Asencio, 28, a New Hampshire resident who is the same man charged with her murder. The attack at her home occurred roughly a week after Mr. Asencio had tried to get back together with Ms. Dabrowski but she had turned him down. She had obtained an abuse prevention order from Ayer District Court against Mr. Asencio, which was active from May 2 to June 3.
She was meeting with book club friends in a busy public place, offering safety in numbers, when the fatal attack occurred."

More recently, he’d been working as a Quality Assurance Specialist at Bristol-Myers Squibb in Danvers. It was there he met Dabrowski. The two dated for three months before the relationship ended. Asencio, Dabrowski told police back in April, did not take the breakup well...
In court on Friday, forensic psychologist Dr. Stephanie Hansen, who examined Asencio, said the man had been hearing voices in his head for the past two years. In recent months, it has progressed into explosive episodes and anger."
