MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. — A man is facing murder charges in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 66-year-old man in Middleborough.
According to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office, around 8 p.m. on Saturday, police received multiple 911 calls for a report of a fight and a man stabbed at a residence at 19 Fairview Street.
Upon arrival, officers found a man suffering from multiple stab wounds. The man, identified as Paul Pomerleau, was transported to Morton Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Jeff Burr lives nearby and says he knew the victim for more than 30 years.
“Paul was a great guy he really was like I said before he’s like a gentle giant you know he’d do anything for you he really would,” Blur said, “he’d give you the shirt off his back”
Police were able to identify Andrew Horsman, 41, as the suspect. He was taken into custody without incident.
Witnesses on the scene tell police that an argument at the home led to the stabbing.
Pomerleau was in a long-term relationship with the Horsman’s mother.
“It blew me away it really did, especially being seven houses up from where I live you know so it’s a little creepy,” Blur added.
The victim’s daughter was too shaken up to speak on camera, but she says Pomerleau was a caring father and grandfather who will be missed by many.
Horsman is scheduled to be arraigned in Wareham District Court on Monday.
An investigation remains ongoing.
