Nashua, NH –Matthew Packer pleaded guilty last week to fatally stabbing Gloucester son EMT Paul Frontiero.
Paul was murdered while coming to the aid of his friends Jill Arnold and Kathryn Libby who were being brutally attacked by Packer. To read more about the heartbreaking story: Fatal Stabbing and Guilty Plea.
Charged with murder in the first degree, Packer was originally planning to plead guilty by reason of insanity. Instead he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and will serve a minimum of thirty years. The prosecution is asking for sixty to life. Sentencing will take place on August 21, 2013.
Mercifully for the Frontiero Family there won’t be a long drawn out trial. The Frontieros are very relieved that sentencing will take place soon. Now comes the healing. Our prayers and thoughts are with Paul and Cathy and sons Salvatore, James, and Christopher over the loss of their beloved son, brother, and hero Paul Frontiero III.
