Manslaughter Warrant Under Review In Enfield Double-Fatal Crash

ENFIELD —

An arrest warrant application seeking murder charges for Kyle Berry — accused of leaving the scene of a double-fatal crash last winter — has been submitted to the courthouse, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Christopher Parakilas, supervisory assistant state's attorney, said he received the paperwork Wednesday and was planning to begin reviewing it Thursday. Arrest warrant applications must be signed by a prosecutor and a judge before the accused may be charged.

Police are seeking to arrest Berry on two counts of murder, he said.

Berry, 46, previously was charged with evading responsibility in the Enfield crash. Michael "Mickey" Kennedy and Colleen Caruso, both of East Windsor, died in the wreck; Glenn McIntyre and Joanna Olden survived.

Berry appeared briefly in court on the evading charge Thursday morning. The case was continued to Nov. 1.

According to a police report, Berry's pickup truck collided with a Nissan Sentra McIntyre was driving on Broad Brook Road, also known as Route 191, at about 1 a.m. Feb. 14. A witness told police the truck appeared to hit the back of the southbound car. He also told police both vehicles were speeding and "it was his belief that the truck was chasing the red car by the way the vehicles were being operated," the report states.

Police said Berry — who earlier had been hanging out with the group — then left the scene.

All five people involved in the crash, and at least one other acquaintance, had been together at Joanna's Café in Somers in the hours before the crash, according to the husband of the woman who owns the business.

Because Berry left the scene, he wasn't arrested until more than 12 hours after the crash, and no meaningful sobriety test could be done on him, police said.

Berry's version of the crash was different than that of the witness, the police report states.

Berry said he followed McIntyre because he saw the Nissan "swerving."

"Berry stated that he was concerned and that he should follow Glenn to make sure he made it home," the report states.

When Berry got near the curve past Town Farm Road, he told police, McIntyre's car "zig-zagged in the road as if something was going on." Suddenly, McIntyre's car was in front of him and "he pulled the truck to the right as he tried to go around him."

Berry told police he heard a crash and hit his head on the windshield.

He said he didn't know what happened to the car and cannot remember what happened after the collision, but "he made it home and went to sleep."

Judge John Deed Duty of Care SE01 EP3 part 3

Corporate murder charges are brought against the managing director of a construction company whose health and safety breaches result in a worker being killed on a building site. Charlie steals a dog from an animal testing laboratory and leaves her with Deed for safety, but there is trouble when it is found. Deed has to contend with Rochester's urges for him to drop the murder case because of the defendant's political affiliations, as well as with George's contempt in the courtroom.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
