Teenager Arraigned in Professors’ Slaying
One of the two teenage suspects in the stabbing deaths of two Dartmouth College professors was arraigned Wednesday on first-degree murder charges and ordered held without bail. The other remained in Indiana, where he may fight extradition.
Robert Tulloch, 17, said “yes” when a judge asked if he understood the charges against him. He shook his head no when the judge asked if he had any questions.
Under New Hampshire law, there is no plea at the arraignment. First-degree murder charges “carry the presumption of no bail,” a prosecutor said.
Tulloch and James Parker, 16, are accused of killing Half and Susanne Zantop in their Hanover home last month. A hearing for Parker was set for Tuesday in New Castle, Ind., after his lawyer said he is considering fighting extradition.
The teens were arrested Monday at a truck stop near New Castle.
