NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) - Prosecutors have amended the charges against a man suspected of setting a series of fires in Northampton, including one blaze that killed a World War II veteran and his adult son.
A Hampshire County grand jury Tuesday handed up a new indictment charging Anthony Baye with six counts of misleading a police officer. Each charge relates to a separate interaction Baye had with law enforcement, including two on the morning of the Dec. 27, 2009 fires and in subsequent interviews.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that charges of attempting to burn a dwelling and attempting to burn a motor vehicle were dismissed.
The 26-year-old Baye faces two murder charges for allegedly setting a fire that killed 81-year-old Paul Yeskie Sr., and 39-year-old Paul Yeskie Jr. He has pleaded not guilty.
