Nashua Man Charged With Killing His Grandmother Arrested In Lowell

LOWELL (CBS) -- A Nashua, New Hampshire man accused of killing his own grandmother was arrested in Lowell Friday evening. Jacob Abraham, 27, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his grandmother, 71-year-old Cynthia Toupin.

The New Hampshire attorney general and Nashua police allege that Abraham caused his grandmother's death "by causing blunt force trauma to her head and/or a puncture wound to her neck, manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life."

The Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy on Toupin Saturday.

Abraham is also charged with being a fugitive from justice in Massachusetts and will be arraigned in Lowell District Court on Monday.
