A man charged with the murder of his mother in New Hampshire is expected to appear in a Massachusetts court Thursday after his arrest.
James Coe, 20, is a suspect in the death of his mother, Denise Damato-Coe, 59, who was found dead at her home in Danville, New Hampshire on August 3. Damato-Coe was shot multiple times and died of those injuries, the chief medical examiner determined.
Coe is charged with second degree murder and falsifying physical evidence. Investigators allege that he knowingly tampered with, concealed, and removed the rifle used in the crime.
He was arrested on a warrant Wednesday in Revere, Massachusetts, and charged as a fugitive from justice. He is expected to appear in court for an arraignment in Chelsea District Court on Thursday morning, ahead of extradition to New Hampshire.
Coe is currently being held without bail. Office of the Attorney General, New Hampshire State Police, Danville Police Department, Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, Revere Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, and County District Attorney’s Office of Suffolk have been involved in the investigation.
