Grandmother Killed
Police in Enfield are investigating after a 79-year-old woman was found dead inside her home on Tuesday night. Officers went to the home to do a well-being check prompted by a letter that was brought to their attention. The victim, Frances Battagler, was found with blunt trauma, police said. Her grandson, who police considered a person of interest in the case, was involved in a car crash while driving Battagler's car in Wethersfield on Wednesday. He was taken to the hospital for his injuries and police planned to interview him. See more on the incident here.
