A district attorney indicted a 30-year-old man on two counts each of first-degree murder, armed robbery and kidnapping by confinement, and one count of armed home invasion for the deaths of two Boston physicians last month, according to WCVB-5 News.
Bampumim Teixeira was arrested and charged in connection with the deaths of Richard Field, MD, and Lina Bolanos, MD, May 5. Dr. Field was an anesthesiologist at Beverly, Mass.-based North Shore Pain Management, while Dr. Bolanos was a pediatric anesthesiologist at Boston-based Massachusetts Eye and Ear and an instructor at Harvard Medical School in Boston. The two physicians were engaged.
Drs. Field and Bolanos were found dead by police inside the penthouse of their luxury condominium building in South Boston May 5. Both had their hands tied and their throats cut. Police said the suspect had allegedly filled a backpack with jewelry. They also allegedly found "a knife and a second bag containing a replica gun and personal property belonging to the victims" just outside the doorway of the condominium, WCVB-5 reports.
Police previously claimed Mr. Teixeira was in the condo at the time police responded to the call, but said during a press conference May 8 there was "no evidence whatsoever at this stage that [Mr. Teixeira] had a personal relationship with either Dr. Field or Dr. Bolanos," according to prior reports by The Boston Globe. However, various reports suggest Mr. Teixeira may have worked as a concierge in the couple's condominium complex.
Mr. Teixeira was reportedly injured in the altercation with police and taken to Boston-based Tufts Medical Center for treatment. He was arraigned at the hospital May 8 and has since been held without bail, according to WCVB-5 News.
