Woman arrested for allegedly killing her mother

MANCHESTER, NH – Residents of the Rockingham Village apartment complex are grappling with shock and disbelief following the tragic death of a neighbor. Authorities have confirmed that all involved parties have been identified, and there is no ongoing threat to the public. However, details about the events leading to the alleged stabbing remain undisclosed.

Neighbors recall the chaos that unfolded late last night, with loud noises and shouting echoing through the building. “It was really loud, and I could hear people yelling,” said one resident. The commotion, although not entirely unusual, took a grim turn when police arrived at the scene.

The Attorney General’s Office reports that police discovered 45-year-old Cheryl deceased in her apartment, the victim of an apparent stab wound. Her daughter, 24-year-old Brynn Comtois, has been apprehended and charged with second-degree murder in connection with her mother’s death.

While the investigation is ongoing, officials have refrained from commenting on the specifics of the mother-daughter relationship, potential mental health issues, or who made the initial 911 call. “It’s important for the community to know that everyone involved has been identified,” an official stated, assuring that there is no anticipated danger to the public as the suspect is in custody.

An autopsy for Cheryl is currently underway, though the timeline for when results will be available to the public remains uncertain. Brynn Comtois is awaiting arraignment in the court system.

Residents of the complex are left to process the unsettling event, with many expressing their disbelief that such a tragedy could occur within their community.
