Thursday, November 19, 2009

Officials have arrested a Hollis man in connection with the Oct. 4 homicide of Kimberly Cates in Mont Vernon, saying that he interfered with the prosecution of the case.

Autumn Savoy, 20, was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution and one count of Conspiracy to Commit Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution.

No further details were released Wednesday in a statement from Attorney General Michael A. Delaney, Colonel Frederick Booth of the New Hampshire State Police and Mont Vernon Police Chief Kyle Aspinwall.

Mr. Savoy was once a student at Hollis-Brookline Cooperative High School.

Cates was murdered and her 11-year-old daughter injured during a home invasion on Oct. 4. Four area teens, two from Brookline and two from Amherst, were arrested days later. The Brookline teens have been charged with murder and the Amherst teens charged with related crimes; all four men remain in jail.
