Nashua Murder Suspect Reportedly Being Held On Immigration Detainer

NASHUA, NH — The Nashua man charged with killing 34-year-old Julie Graichen last week is being held on an immigration detainer by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), WMUR reported.

Miguel Ramirez, 25, was charged with one count of second-degree murder in the death of Graichen, who was found stabbed to death in a Kinsley Street apartment on Friday.

According to WMUR, ICE officials said Ramirez illegally entered the U.S. and is a citizen of Honduras.
