ENFIELD, Conn. — The granddaughter of an Enfield woman who was killed over the weekend was arrested in connection with her death and the death of another person, police said Monday morning.
Enfield police said 22-year-old Harlee Swols was arrested after they conducted a welfare check on 72-year-old Maryrose Riach and 63-year-old James Bell on Sunday evening.
In court today, a judge put Swols on a mental health watch and lowered her bond to $1 million from $2 million. The case was continued to later this month.
When they arrived at the apartment, they found one of the victims in distress and forced themselves into the apartment.
Police said they found Riach and Bell with significant trauma inside. Bell was pronounced dead at the scene while Riach later died from her injuries at Baystate Hospital. Their cause of death has not been disclosed at this time.
According to police, another incident involving Swols and Riach led to a protective order. In July, Swols had been charged with breach of peace and assault of an elderly person.
While on scene, Swols was arrested and charged with violating the protective order.
Police said they expect further charges to be filed against Swols.
The homicides remain under investigation.
