MARSHFIELD, Vt. (AP) - A man was in custody Wednesday after the shooting death of his father in a home in Marshfield, state police said.
The body of 71-year-old William Fink was discovered when law enforcement officials responded to a 911 call by the victim’s wife Wednesday morning, Vermont State Police said.
Samir Fink, 33, is expected to be arraigned Thursday on suspicion of second-degree murder, state police said. Fink lived in the home with his parents.
