Overview
- Kenneth S. Beltrame, 67, who was arrested Tuesday during a welfare check, is charged with killing his sister in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
- Police said Beltrame was standing outside the home and told officers his sister was inside and deceased, and they found 61-year-old Jennifer Beltrame with signs of violent trauma.
- Investigators interviewed Beltrame after reading him his Miranda rights, and officials have not disclosed what he said during the recorded interview.
- In Barnstable District Court on Wednesday, Judge Edward F. X. Lynch ordered a mental competency evaluation, which halts normal pretrial steps until it is complete.
- Detectives executed a search warrant at the residence as the investigation continues, and a competency finding will determine when the case can resume in court.
