SHERMAN, Maine — Two Massachusetts men will be returned to Maine to face a murder charge in connection with the death of an Oakfield man whose body was found in a vehicle on PD Road earlier this month, a state police spokesman said Tuesday.
Marcus Asante, 20, of Fitchburg and Darin Goulding, 27, whose hometown was not released, were in Massachusetts police custody on Tuesday.
Asante was taken into custody on an unrelated charge in Fitchburg on Friday. Goulding was arrested Tuesday in Leominster, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said in a release issued shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Both will face a murder charge in connection with the death of Douglas Morin, 31, of Oakfield. His body was found about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 16, in a vehicle on PD Road, which is located off Cold Brook Road.
The cause of death is not being released, but the medical examiner’s office determined the death to be a homicide. Detectives have been working on the case since the body was discovered, McCausland has said.
Family members interviewed at their River Road home on Oct. 17 said they didn’t know who would want to hurt Morin, or why. His father, Douglas Morin Sr., said he last saw his son at about 7:30 a.m. on the day of his homicide as the latter was headed out the door.
