--The victim of the hatchet attack on Marion Street in East Boston has died. The Herald notes that his death brings this year's murder count to 19.
--The BPD caught three perps - one from Puerto Rico - and nine kilos of cocaine. That must have been some party!
--More information is emerging about why Cape Cod doctor Ann Gryboski shot and killed her husband, Patrick Lancaster. Lancaster was apparently, allegedly an asshole of a husband. You read today's article in the Globe, and no one has a kind word to say about the guy, other than the fact that he was "a nice-looking fellow."
--In other Cape Cod blotter news, an accountant at a Cape hospital managed to shift $83,000 bucks from the hospital to a cheerleading squad. Apparently not all the money went to improving the pom-poms, so the other parents and community members involved with the Barnstable Silver Bullets are wondering if this accountant took money from them, too.
All charges alleged until proven under law.
