SEABROOK, N.H. — The suspect wanted in the weekend homicide in Chaplin was captured Tuesday in New Hampshire, Connecticut State Police announced.
Matthew Candler, 46, was taken into custody at the Seabrook Inn, in the town of Seabrook. He was held on an extraditable felony warrant.
On Sunday around 6:12 a.m., troopers responded to a report of an assault with life-threatening injuries. When troopers arrived at the home, they found a Jeffrey Rawson dead inside.
Candler was said to be driving an older Ford F-150. The pickup was found Tuesday in Salisbury, Massachusetts about five miles south of Seabrook.
State police detectives from the Eastern District Major Crime Squad are still investigating what led up to the death.
Stephen Hall, a neighbor, said it is a strange and weird situation.
"This is a quiet neighborhood, you know, it’s unfortunate that it happened...We’re all concerned when something like that happens. It’s quiet around here," Hall said.
If anyone has information regarding the case, contact State Police detectives at 860-779-4900 or your local police department at 911.
