"Arrested Suspect Faces Charges in Newton Triple Homicide and Elderly Couple's Anniversary Killing"

Christopher Ferguson, a Newton man, has been charged with the brutal murders of a couple and an elderly mother. The victims were stabbed and beaten to death in their home. Ferguson, who appeared in court via Zoom, pleaded not guilty and was held without bail. Investigators found surveillance footage of him near the victims' home and matched a bloody footprint to him. The motive appears to be random, as Ferguson has no known connection to the family. He faces charges of murder, assault and battery, and burglary.
