Man pleads guilty to stabbing Milford man in 2021, hiding body in storage locker
A man pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in connection with the death of a 54-year-old man in 2021 , who was found stabbed and hidden inside his own Milford storage locker.
Christopher Tetreault , 32, pleaded guilty on Tuesday and was sentenced to serve between 15 and 18 years in prison, according to the Worcester County District Attorney's Office. He also pleaded guilty to two counts of larceny from a building and was sentenced to serve two concurrent 2-3-year prison sentences.
On Aug. 17, 2021, the body of Paul Weaver, 54, was found with multiple stab wounds inside Weaver's storage locker on Beach Street in Milford. Some of his personal items were also missing from the scene.
Tetreault was arrested in connection with the killing a week later in Virginia, by Virginia State Police, Massachusetts troopers with the district attorney's office and Milford police.
He was returned to Massachusetts and arraigned in Milford District Court, then indicted by a Worcester County grand jury in September 2021.
"It is our hope that this plea provides some closure to Mr. Weaver's family after this tragedy," said District Attorney Joseph Early.
"I want to thank Senior First Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Travers, Assistant District Attorney Louis Tosches, and Victim Witness Advocate Maria Deyette for their exceptional work on this case." He also thanked the several law enforcement agencies who worked on the case.
Milford police Chief Robert Tusino said, "I'd like to thank the Milford Police Detective Bureau, Massachusetts State Police and Worcester County District Attorney's Office for their hard work and collaboration in bringing closure to this case."
