Bucacci was pronounced dead and the office of the chief medical examiner ruled he died of a blunt injury to the neck and determined his death was a homicide, police said.
As police were investigating, Perkins made admissions that he assaulted Bucacci and delayed calling 911, police said.
Perkins was arrested in Norwich on Tuesday and held on a $100,000 bond, police said.
