KEESEVILLE, N.Y. (WCAX) – Police have arrested two men for the murder of a Northern New York man found dead on a riverbank earlier this week.
New York State Police say Michael Rougeau, 48, and Michael Nastasia, 30, were arrested Tuesday in Plattsburgh on charges of second-degree murder.
The men are charged in the slaying of Kenneth Darrah, 37, of Keeseville, who police say died of stab wounds and blunt force trauma.
Police said Wednesday their investigation revealed that a fight occurred on the Ausable Chasm Bridge in Keeseville, and Darrah was stabbed and thrown off the bridge.
Police found Darrah’s body on the north bank of the river just after 2 a.m. Monday.
