LYNN, Mass. — A man has been arrested on a charge of murder after a woman was found stabbed to death inside her home in Lynn on Wednesday morning, authorities announced Thursday.
Zachary Vozzella, 26, of Lynn, is slated to be arraigned Thursday in Lynn District Court on charges including murder in connection with the death of 25-year-old Brianna Welsh, also of Lynn, according to Essex District Attorney Paul Tucker.
Welsh was found suffering from what authorities “believe to be multiple stab wounds” after her mother requested a well-being check at her apartment at Breakwater North Harbor at 254 Lynnway, Tucker’s office said.
