Details of Sherman alleged murder outlined in arrest warrant

More details are being outline in an arrest warrant of a Sherman man accused of killing his husband in their home last month.  The documents, obtained by Hearst Connecticut Media, say that too much blood was soaked through the mattress and spattered on the walls and stained into the clothes of James Maharg for police to believe that his husband died from hitting his head on a cabinet.

The 65-year old reportedly confessed after police told him they knew the couple abandoned their Manhattan business, lost their farmhouse to foreclosure, and had been hospitalized multiple times for alcoholic incoherence. 

Maharg has been charged with evidence tampering and murder in the death of 63-year old Thomas Conley.  According to the warrant, Maharg and his husband had been drinking tequila all day when a verbal argument turned physical, but the suspect couldn't tell police the object used or the time frame.  The official cause of death from the Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner’s Office was “chop wounds." 

Maharg is due in Court April 23rd.
