Wow, that was a quick arrest. They decided to check out the boyfriend first, and BINGO. Got him at the bus terminal in the nick of time.

A man accused of stabbing a woman to death in Stoughton, Massachusetts, in December appeared in court Tuesday to face a new murder charge in the killing.

Victor Carter, 40, pleaded not guilty in Norfolk Superior Court after being indicted by a grand jury in February. He'd previously pleaded not guilty on a murder charge brought in Stoughton District Court — the new court hearing was prompted by the grand jury's new murder charge.

A doctor who examined Carter Tuesday recommended that, given how a psychiatric condition he has was manifesting, he be re-evaluated in a state facility for competency to stand trial, which the judge ordered.
