Neil Entwistle Indicted

Previous posts here.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- A British man accused of killing his wife and infant daughter was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on first-degree murder charges.

Neil Entwistle, 27, has been held without bail in a Cambridge jail since he was arraigned Feb. 16 in the death of his wife, Rachel, 27, and their 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose.

Entwistle pleaded innocent at the February arraignment.

The grand jury indictment, a standard legal procedure in criminal cases, moves the case to Middlesex Superior Court, where a new arraignment is expected in the next two weeks.

Prosecutors allege that Entwistle shot his wife and daughter in their rented home in Hopkinton on Jan. 20 after becoming despondent over rising debts. He flew to his parents' home in England the day after the killings, and the bodies were later discovered in a bedroom after friends and relatives began to worry.

Entwistle allegedly told a state police detective that he returned home after running errands to find his wife and daughter dead. He said he thought about killing himself but couldn't go through with it, according to investigators' affidavits.

Neil Entwistle Pleads Not Guilty

Some are concerned about the level of the coverage. I don't blame them. What tends to minimize it is if you don't kill your wife and baby daughter before fleeing to Britain.

It's a thought, anyway.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) -- Wearing shackles and a bulletproof vest, Neil Entwistle pleaded not guilty Thursday to first-degree murder charges and was ordered held without bail in the shooting deaths of his wife and baby daughter.

The crush of media slowed traffic outside the Framingham District Court building. One passing motorist yelled out: "Burn that baby killer."

Entwistle, 27, kept his head bowed as officers led him into the building.

He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his wife, Rachel, 27, and their 9-month-old daughter Lillian, killed in their home in Hopkinton on Jan. 20. Entwistle flew to his native England a day after the shootings, was arrested there last week, and was flown back to the United States on Tuesday.

Neil Entwistle On Way To US

LONDON (AP) -- A British man charged with killing his wife and daughter at their home in Massachusetts was flown out of Britain on Wednesday to face charges in the United States, police said.

Neil Entwistle was handed over the custody of U.S. marshals at Gatwick Airport, Metropolitan Police said.

"We understand that he is returning to the U.S. on a private flight," a police statement said.

Police would not disclose details such as where or when Entwistle will arrive in the U.S.

Entwistle Update

It seems Neil Entwistle was doing Internet research on killing and suicide prior to the murders of Rahclel and Lilly. And Steve Huff has more on Neil Entwistles alleged business dealings in the porn and skin industries.

BOSTON (AP) -- A man charged with murdering his wife and baby daughter searched the Internet for ways to kill people and methods of committing suicide in the days before the slayings, authorities said.

He also trolled the Internet looking for escort services and Web sites that offer help finding sexual partners, according to search warrant documents released Monday.

Neil Entwistle Linked To Escort Services

Seems double homicide suspect Neil Entwistle may have had a little bit of money, however much he may have been in debt. At least enough to poke around on line at a few escort services and possibly visit one.

It's beginning to appear that Entwistle may have been a truly lost soul prior to allegedly committing the murders of his wife and daughter.

BOSTON (AP) -- A man accused of killing his wife and baby daughter visited the Web sites of escort services and accessed directions to at least one two days before his family was shot, according to documents released Monday.

Neil Entwistle, 27, was arrested in his native England last week and charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 20 slayings of his wife, Rachel, and their 9-month-old daughter, Lillian, at their home in the Boston suburb of Hopkinton.

Neil Entwistle

How could anyone do such a thing?

"Some time on Friday morning Neil Entwistle shot Rachel in the head and then proceeded to shoot baby Lillian who was lying on the bed next to her mother.

"We believe possibly that this was intended to be a murder-suicide. Obviously the murder was effected and the suicide was not."

Neil Entwistle Update

From new comment by someone in the UK

I am in the UK and have just heard on the news that Neil Entwistle has returned back to his parents house. No one knows where he went on Tuesday afternoon. They would not speak to the press or media. They refused to answer any questions, that is his mom and dad and Neil Entwistle.

Neil Entwistle - How Did I Get Here?

It seems husband and father to murder victims Rachel and Lillian Entwistle purports to be suffering from some confusion. Interesting, given that it appears he was coherent enough to remember to call an attorney.

FUGITIVE dad Neil Entwistle phoned the family of his murdered wife and said: “I can’t remember how I got to England - is it true Rachel and Lillian are dead?”
The 27-year-old IT expert told Rachel’s stepdad Joe Matterazzo in the US he was “confused”.

A family source said he was “distraught” after being told Rachel, 27, and their nine-month-old baby Lillian had been shot dead at their home near Boston, Massachusetts.

Evidently he was recently spotted leaving his home.

Neil Entwistle Not Cooperating In Murder Investigation

It seems earlier reports that Neil Entwistle would cooperate in the investigation into the murders of Rachel and Lillian Entwistle were either premature, or incorrect. New reports suggest he is stone walling.

Additionally, the fmaily of Rachel and Lillian Entwistle have released a statement.

Neil Entwistle, for a second day in a row, rebuffed requests for interviews from detectives who traveled to London to talk with him, a source close to the case said.

    Entwistle, who grew up several hours from London, had also bailed out Friday on a pledge to meet the detectives, the source said. The U.S. Embassy in London had initially confirmed that the meeting took place -- but reversed itself yesterday.
