Double Homicide: Couple Died of Stab Wounds

Police in Nashua are investigating a double homicide following autopsy results of the bodies of William and Eleanor Grant, an elderly couple found dead inside their Newbury Street home on Monday.

Attorney General Joseph A. Foster and Nashua Police Chief John J. Seusing announce that autopsies conclude William Grant, 83, and Eleanor Grant, 78, whose bodies were discovered by officers from the Nashua Police Department on June 17, 2013, were stabbed to death.

The manner of the deaths of the Grants has been declared homicide, with cause of death for each being stab wounds.

Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley would not confirm whether a search of the neighborhood at about the same time as the discovery of the bodies was related to this incident.

"Two people have been found dead inside their home, and so the public should be accordingly prudent. We have no suspects in custody. While the investigation is ongoing, we have no reason to believe the public is in danger," Hinckley said.

Anyone who may have information regarding the investigation is encouraged to contact the Nashua Police Department directly at (603) 594-3500, or anonymously through the Nashua Crime Line at (603) 589-1665.
