Nora Nelson, a 24-year-old woman, has been arraigned on a murder charge following the alleged stabbing death of lawyer Joseph Donohue on a houseboat in Charlestown. In court, she pleaded not guilty and remains in custody without bail. The police's investigation began after family members reported Donohue missing. When questioned, Nelson acted suspiciously, providing misleading information, and her behavior led officers to discover Donohue's body wrapped in materials. The case raises concerns over animal cruelty, as she also faces charges for harming Donohue's dog.
Nora Nelson, 24, faces a murder charge for allegedly killing lawyer Joseph Donohue and injuring his dog on his houseboat in Charlestown.
The court heard how Nelson was initially uncooperative with police, providing inconsistent answers, and was found in Donohue's houseboat where his body was discovered.
Donohue was found wrapped in carpeting and secured with duct tape, with dumbbells tied to him, and numerous bloodstains found inside the boat.
Assistant District Attorney Rita Claire Muse described Nelson's behavior as 'inconsistent, contradictory, and frankly nonsensical,' raising suspicions during the police investigation.
