A Franklin County man, who was a person of interest

ST. ALBANS — A Franklin County man, who was a person of interest shortly after an elderly Enosburgh woman was reported missing last week, was arrested on a charge of aggravated murder Thursday night, officials said. Darren Martell, 23, of St. Albans. Vermont State Police said Martell is responsible for killing Roberta Martin, 82, who was reported missing from her Butternut Hollow Road residence in Enosburgh last week. State police arrested Martell on the murder Thursday night while he was in custody at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, where he has been jailed since Monday on an unrelated felony charge of lewd and lascivious conduct. Nobody had been willing to post the $500 bail imposed in the lewd conduct case. A judge on Thursday night ordered Martell held without bail on the aggravated murder charge pending his court arraignment. If convicted, Martell faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
