Second suspect sought in Bangor triple homicide; victims were shot

Last modified Oct. 01, 2012, at 8:23 p.m.

BANGOR, Maine — Fugitive from justice warrants have been issued for two out-of-state suspects police say shot three local people — two men and a woman — in a drug-related homicide, then set their bodies on fire in a car seven weeks ago in Bangor.
 
Police are searching for Nicholas J. Sexton, 31, of Warwick, R.I., and Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 34, of Brockton, Mass., who have been charged with three counts of knowing or intentional murder and one count of arson, Bangor police Lt. Tim Reid said.
 
“We consider them armed and extremely dangerous,” Reid, who leads the department’s detective division, said at a press conference Monday afternoon.
 
Sexton and Daluz, who is also nicknamed “Money,” are wanted in connection to the deaths of Daniel T. Borders, 26, of Hermon; Nicolle A. Lugdon, 24, of Eddington; and Lucas A. Tuscano, 28, of Bradford, whose bodies were found burned beyond recognition inside a white Pontiac sedan with Rhode Island plates that was discovered on fire early on Aug. 13.
 
“The cause of death [for all three victims] was determined to be by gunshot, and the case has been classified as homicide,” Reid said. “We view this as a drug-related homicide.”
 
The fire was deemed arson by the state fire marshal’s office, he said.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — One of two men sought on fugitive from justice warrants in connection with a triple homicide in Bangor on Aug. 13 reportedly has been arrested.
 
Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 34, was arrested Tuesday in New Bedford, Mass., about 40 miles from his hometown of Brockton, Mass., a reporter for The Standard-Times, a New Bedford newspaper, said Tuesday evening.
 
Anika Clark confirmed the arrest with New Bedford Police Chief David Provencher at the request of the Bangor Daily News. The details of Daluz’s arrest — such as when and where it took place and who was involved — were not immediately available.
 
The other suspect, Nicholas J. Sexton, 31, of Warwick, R.I., reportedly remains at large.
 
Calls by the Bangor Daily News to a number of police departments and officials involved in the case were not immediately returned.
 
Provencher told Clark that police from Bangor and Fall River, Mass., were involved in the arrest, but said he had not yet been briefed on all of the details.

Police arrest second suspect in Bangor triple homicide   Last modified Oct. 04, 2012, at 8:41 a.m.

BROCKTON, Mass. — Police have arrested a second suspect in connection with an August triple homicide in Bangor, Maine, according to Massachusetts State Police.
 
Nicholas Sexton, 31, of Warwick, R.I., was arrested in Brockton, Mass., at about 4 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release from the Massachusetts State Police.
 
“Police developed information that led to the address of a woman” on Montello Street in Brockton, according to the release. Police obtained a “no-knock” warrant, which was executed by the Massachusetts State Police Special Tactical Operations Team in coordination with the FBI and Brockton police.
 
Sexton was arrested and taken to the state police barracks in Middleboro, Mass., where he was charged as a fugitive from justice, according to the release. He is expected to be arraigned later Thursday in Brockton District Court.
 ::snipping2::

Daluz was arrested about 1 p.m. Tuesday in New Bedford by detectives acting on a tip from a nearby police department, New Bedford police Detective Capt. Steven Vicente said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
 
After police placed Daluz in an unmarked cruiser to take him to New Bedford police headquarters, he started talking about Sexton, according to Sgt. Dean Fredericks of New Bedford Police Department.
 
“While en route, Daluz began talking spontaneously and told me, ‘I’m lucky to be alive, and … if he didn’t run out of bullets I’d be dead too,’” Fredericks said in court documents released Wednesday.
 
“I didn’t kill anybody. Nick did it, not me,” Daluz told the sergeant. “I’m afraid of him and I’m afraid he’s going to go after my family,” he added.

Suspect in triple homicides pleads not guilty to 3 murders, arson; judge denies bail   10.4.12

BANGOR, Maine — A New Bedford, Mass., man on Thursday, less than 48 hours after his arrest, denied killing three people and setting them ablaze.

Daluz waived extradition Wednesday in a Massachusetts court and was returned, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said Wednesday. Escorted by Bangor police detectives, he arrived at the Penobscot County Jail shortly before 7 p.m. Wednesday.
 
Police arrested early Thursday Nicholas J. Sexton, 31, of Warwick, R.I., the man Daluz told reportedly told investigators was responsible for the slayings of Daniel T. Borders, 26, of Hermon; Nicolle A. Lugdon, 24, of Eddington; and Lucas A. Tuscano, 28, of Bradford on Aug. 13.
 
He was expected to have a first court appearance later Thursday in Massachusetts, but information about when he would be returned to Maine was not immediately available.

Triple murder suspect nabbed in overnight raid, fights extradition to Maine
Last modified Oct. 05, 2012, at 6:26 a.m.



The Massachusetts State Police SWAT team, FBI and local police had their guns drawn as they ambushed and arrested triple murder suspect Nicholas J. Sexton early Thursday morning during a “no-knock” raid in Brockton, Mass.
 
Sexton, 31, of Warwick, R.I., was arrested at a woman’s house in Brockton at about 4 a.m. on a fugitive from justice warrant from Maine in connection with the drug-related triple homicide this summer in Bangor, according to Massachusetts State Police.
 
Sexton was unarmed when arrested and did not struggle with law enforcement, Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio said.
 
A Brockton District Court clerk said Sexton is fighting extradition to Maine and that his case has been continued to Oct. 31. He is being held without bail, said a spokeswoman in the Plymouth County (Mass.) district attorney’s office.

Second man pleads not guilty to triple homicide in Bangor this summer
Last modified Nov. 05, 2012, at 1:28 p.m.

BANGOR, Maine — A second man pleaded not guilty Monday at the Penobscot Judicial Center to slaying three people this summer, then setting them ablaze in a rental car in what police have called a grisly, drug-related triple homicide.
 
Superior Court Justice E. Allen Hunter ordered that Nicholas J. Sexton, 31, of Warwick, R.I., be held without bail at the Penobscot County Jail until a bail hearing can be scheduled.
 
Sexton appeared in a second-floor courtroom dressed in a red jail-issued jumpsuit. His feet were shackled. Sexton’s wrists were handcuffed and secured to a chain around his waist.
 
The red outfit indicated he is being held in the maximum security section of the jail.
 ::snipping2::

The judge asked Sexton how he pleaded to all charges.
 
“Not guilty,” said the defendant, flanked by his court-appointed attorneys, Jeffrey Toothaker of Ellsworth and David Bate of Bangor.
 
Hunter said he would leave it up to Anderson to schedule a bail hearing. Toothaker did not object to continuing the hearing, but said that Sexton most likely would be unable to make the high bail typically set in murder cases.
 ::snipping2::

A trial date has not been set. The Maine attorney general’s office, which is prosecuting the cases, has asked that the two men be tried together. The judge has not issued his decision on that motion.
 
Sexton’s attorneys and Jeffrey Silverstein, who represents Daluz, have said they would oppose a motion for a joint trial.
 
“We would be opposed to a dual trial,” Bate said Monday at an impromptu press conference outside the courthouse. “We are in the very early stages of this case. We have not received one single police report.”
 
Bate declined to discuss Sexton’s state of mind.

BANGOR, Maine — A Superior Court judge Thursday will consider whether the two men charged in connection with a triple homicide last summer that investigators have described as a drug deal gone bad will be tried together or separately.
 
Nicholas J. Sexton, 32, of Warwick, R.I., and Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 35, of Brockton, Mass., have pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one count of arson in the deaths of Daniel T. Borders, 26, of Hermon; Nicolle A. Lugdon, 24, of Eddington; and Lucas A. Tuscano, 28, of Bradford.
 
The defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial date has not been set.

Pair accused of murder in Bangor triple homicide case want cellphone records to be suppressed
feb 1 2014

BANGOR, Maine — Attorneys for t wo men accused of murder in a 2012 triple homicide have asked that cellphone records obtained by police during the investigation be ruled inadmissible as evidence against the accused men.
 
Nicholas J. Sexton, 32, of Warwick, R.I., and Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 35, of Brockton, Mass., have pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one count of arson in the deaths of Daniel T. Borders, 26, of Hermon; Nicolle A. Lugdon, 24, of Eddington; and Lucas A. Tuscano, 28, of Bradford.

 

Sexton and Daluz sat Friday at separate defense tables at the Penobscot Judicial Center facing Superior Court Justice William Anderson, who also is in the process of deciding whether the two will be tried together or in separate trials.
 
The attorneys for Sexton and Daluz are asking for the phone records to be thrown out. Bangor attorneys Hunter Tzovarras and Jeffrey Silverstein are representing Daluz and say the state should have gotten a warrant to obtain the cellphone records under the Fourth Amendment.
 
Defense attorney Jeffrey Toothaker of Ellsworth and Bangor attorney David Bate, who are representing Sexton, say the cellphone records are inadmissible because the request to obtain them was not done in a timely fashion under the law.

Bangor triple slaying suspects seek separate trials

http://www.sunjournal.com/news/maine/2014/03/13/bnagor-triple-slaying-suspects-seek-separate-trials/1504371


Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 6:51 am


 BANGOR — The two men accused of killing three Penobscot County residents in 2012 then setting the car in which they were shot on fire most likely will be tried together in front of one jury in late April.

Although Superior Court Justice William Anderson has not yet ruled on a defense motion to try Nicholas Sexton, 33, of Warwick, R.I., and Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 36, of Brockton, Mass., separately, the prosecution appeared Wednesday to have taken away the defense’s best argument by agreeing not to introduce statements Daluz and others made implicating Sexton as the shooter.
 
Sexton and Daluz have pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges in connection with the deaths of Nicolle A. Lugdon, 24, of Eddington, Daniel T. Borders, 26, of Hermon and Lucas A. Tuscano, 28, of Bradford on Aug. 12 or 13, 2012. Investigators have described the slayings as a drug deal gone bad.
 
At a hearing Wednesday at the Penobscot Judicial Center, Anderson set jury selection for Monday, April 28, with the trial to begin as soon as the jurors are seated. The judge also set deadlines for pre-trial motions and for attorneys to suggest questions they wanted put to potential jurors.
 
Although Anderson gave lead defense attorneys until Wednesday to find legal precedents to support their arguments for separate trials, now that the state has said it will not use certain statements, he set one trial date, not two.

Sister of victim in Bangor triple homicide arrested for refusing to cooperate with prosecutors

http://bangordailynews.com/2014/04/30/news/bangor/sister-of-victim-in-bangor-triple-homicide-arrested-for-refusing-to-cooperate-with-prosecutors/

BANGOR, Maine — While a jury was being selected in a triple murder trial in a second-floor courtroom of the Penobscot Judicial Center on Wednesday, a key witness appeared before a judge on the first floor accused of refusing to cooperate with prosecutors.
 
Katelyn Lugdon, 19, formerly of Bangor, was arrested earlier this week in Saugus, Massachusetts, on a charge of failure to appear as a state’s witness. A warrant was issued for her arrest after she failed to show up for pretrial interviews with prosecutors. She was taken to Bangor on Tuesday.
 

Nicholas Sexton, 33, of Warwick, R.I., and Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 36, of Brockton, Mass., have pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and arson. Opening statements will be presented Thursday morning after 12 jurors and four alternates are selected from the jury pool of 49. Jury selection began Monday.
 
While jury selection was taking place Wednesday afternoon, District Court Judge Gregory Campbell set bail for Katelyn Lugdon at $25,000, but urged Assistant Attorney General Deb Cashman to call her to testify as early as possible. Cashman said Lugdon was scheduled to testify May 7 but could be called earlier next week.
 
Lugdon is being held at the Penobscot County Jail. She is not expected to post bail.
 
Cashman told Campbell that Lugdon was a key witness in the case because of her relationship with two of the three victims. She also was one of the last people to see the trio alive on the night of Aug. 12, 2012.
 

The trial is scheduled to last at least two weeks and could last up to four weeks, Superior Court Justice William Anderson told potential jurors Monday.

After opening statements Thursday, jurors will visit several locations in Bangor, including the parking lot off outer Hammond Street, where the report of a car fire led Bangor police to begin a triple homicide investigation. The jury also will drive by the Ramada Inn on Odlin Road, Carolina’s Bar & Grill under the Joshua Chamberlain bridge and a spot on the Penobscot River Bank at Boyd and Hancock streets, where guns and ammunition believed to be used in the crimes were found in March 2013.

I wonder if Katelyn Lugdon is afraid to testify because she's afraid her background will be looked into too, or is she afraid if she works with the prosecution, she may find her life in peril too?  Or both of these things?

Ex-girlfriends of men charged in Bangor triple murder reluctantly take the stand

 

Chantee Andrews, 33, of Cranston, Rhode Island, who has two children with Sexton, and Patti Pond, 31, of Fall River, Massachusetts, both wept as they answered questions about their relationships with the men. Andrews said she was jealous of the time Sexton spent with Daluz. She told jurors she later learned Sexton sometimes was with other girlfriends when he said he was with Daluz.
 
Andrews said that she drove to Bangor on Aug. 13, 2012, to pick Sexton up and drive him back to Massachusetts. She said that he seemed upset about something but did not tell her what.
 
Pond said that she knew nothing about Daluz’s drug deals. She told jurors that he worked as a landscaper and did painting and other odd jobs with Sexton.
 
With the jury out of the courtroom, Pond said that Daluz told her to be on the lookout for “Nick or one of his people” around their home in Taunton, Massachusetts.
 

The trial, which began May 1 after 3½ days for jury selection, could last another 2½ to three weeks.
 
If convicted, Sexton and Daluz face between 25 years and life in prison on each murder charge.

note...no DP in Maine, but 25 years or 'Life' means just that, as there is no Parole in Maine.
