-- Charles Cherry, the 66-year-old Roxbury man who was arrested in connection with Friday's murder of a 56-year-old neighbor is a disabled man who suffers from a neurological disorder that keeps him from walking unaided. Police, who originally believed that he had stabbed Elvia McField to death, now say that he shot her with a high-powered rifle after a dispute in his apartment over money. Cherry pleaded not guilty to the charge. [Herald]
