Questions Remain About Second Home Invasion Suspect

It's been more than a month since Bedford Police announced an arrest warrant had been issued for the primary suspect in last November's brutal home invasion at 7 Proclamation Court.

In that time, both local police and county prosecutors have remained tight-lipped about the second suspect, though Bedford Police Chief John Bryfonski said investigators continue to work on the case.

"The Bedford Police Department continues to investigate the burglary, assault and attempted murder that occurred at 7 Proclamation Court on November 24, 2012. The case continues to consume significant investigative resources of the Bedford Police Department with assistance from the N.H. State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)," said Bryfonski. "Detectives are preparing investigative reports for the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office as well as conducting additional investigative work in furtherance of this matter."

Today, the Union Leader tied Normil to Nathan C. Lamontagne, a local man who recently lived in Milford with his girlfriend.

Though the article stopped short of naming Lamontagne the second suspect, a basic Internet search reveals the two two men have been arrested together on multiple occasions, including a string of 2009 burglaries in Rye.

Last month, Bedford Patch reported that Mass. authorities are working with with New Hampshire prosecutors to expedite its case against Normil, who also faces .

Normil's Massachusetts bail was reportedly maintained at $250,000 following his arraignment in Essex County Superior Court in which an April 2014 trial date was requested.

Normil, at the time, submitted a plea of not guilty on charges associated the Methuen incident, which reportedly occurred on Dec. 14, weeks after the aforementioned Bedford attack that left Dr. Eduardo Quesada and his wife, Sonia, critically injured.

Once extradited to New Hampshire, Normil will face two counts of attempted murder and first degree assault, one count of aggravated felonious sexual and one count of falsifying evidence.

Bedford Patch will continue to follow this developing story as more details are released.
