EXETER, N.H. (AP) - A man has pleaded guilty to charges of arson and murder in connection with a fire in New Hampshire last year in which the body of a woman was found.
WMUR-TV reports Thursday that Derek Webber, of Exeter, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and arson.
Fire officials found 65-year-old Carol Felides dead inside her mobile home in Exeter after responding to a fire June 19, 2018.
Prosecutors say Felides suffered multiple injuries to her head and died before the fire was set.
The 31-year-old Webber was arrested about a week after Felides’ death.
Prosecutors say he and Felides did not know each other.
