New charges filed against Newtown High School graduate

State Police have released the arrest warrant and booking photo for Peter Manfredonia, the Newtown High School graduate who allegedly killed two people and committed other crimes during the 6 day manhunt.  According to the warrant, Nicholas Eisele’s girlfriend woke to commotion and heard him telling someone to “relax”.  Her affidavit included the moment she “heard the shots” that police say killed her boyfriend followed by her kidnapping.  The 23-year old UConn student is now charged for those crimes.  He was arrested last month on murder and other charges for crimes that police say occurred in Willington.  The woman told investigators that she asked Manfredonia to call to get medical help for her boyfriend, but he responded that he shot the man in the head. Manfredonia reportedly detailed the killing committed two days earlier, a home invasion, and the ensuing manhunt.  Manfredonia will be arraigned today on the new charges.
