Large Bail for Teen Accused of Murder

An Attleboro teen, who was accused of murder earlier this year, is being held on $250 thousand, according to WPRI.

15-year-old Brandon Bonin allegedly tried to kill a 63-year-old woman in March. He was back in court this week.

Attleboro police said earlier this year that the victim was startled to find Bonin in her home at approximately 10 p.m. on March 6. He attacked her with a knife, then drove the woman to a pond near the Seekonk line where he attempted to drown her, police say. Next, Bonin drove the woman to a third location where he tried to clog the vehicle's tailpipe with an article of clothing in an attempt to asphyxiate the woman while she was in the car, police say.

Bonin has been indicted under the state's Youth Offender law, which allows his case to be handed as an adult case, according to the District Attorney.
