LAWRENCE, Mass. - A Dover, N.H., man was arrested Monday night in the double-stabbing of two women found dead at a Farmington address late last month.
Timothy Verrill, 34, has been charged in the crime, a family source told The Lebanon Voice today.
Verrill was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice just before 9 p.m. on Methuen Street in Lawrence where he was seeking treatment at a medical facility, Lawrence Police Detective Thomas Cuddy told the Eagle-Tribune. It's not clear when an extradition hearing might be scheduled.
Verrill stands charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the two women's deaths.

Killed in the horrific crime were Christine Sullivan, 48, who split her time between southwest Florida and Farmington, N.H.; and Jenna Pellegrini, 32, of Barrington, N.H. (Obits on both appear in Obituary section.)
Their bodies were discovered around 3 a.m. on Jan. 29 when Farmington Police responded to a 911 call at 979 Meaderboro Road.
Both women died of multiple stab wounds, according to a coroner's report a week ago, with Sullivan also sustaining blunt force trauma in the attack.
Dean Smoronk, who is listed as the owner of 979 Meaderboro Road on the town of Farmington website, said he found the bodies after returning home late Jan. 28 on a flight from Florida.
Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey W.R. Ward said Verrill is expected to be arraigned today on fugitive from justice charges, but couldn't give a timeframe for when he would be returned to New Hampshire to face murder charges.
The investigation surrounding the deaths of Sullivan and Pellegrini remains active. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the victims in the days leading up to January 29, 2017 or regarding the facts or circumstances of the murders is asked to contact Sgt. Brian Strong of the New Hampshire State Police at (603) 223-4381
