Suspect Arrested in Newton Triple Homicide Case

Christopher Ferguson, 41, has been arrested and charged with murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and burglary in connection with a triple homicide at a home in Newton. The victims suffered stab wounds and blunt force trauma, and there was no apparent connection between them and the suspect. Police found an impression of a footprint in blood and matched it to Ferguson, who is known to police. Autopsies are pending, and police are investigating whether a break-in a half mile away is connected. Neighbors are on edge, and police have asked residents to remain vigilant and lock their doors and windows.
