LAWRENCE — A man suspected of a fatal stabbing in Lawrence has been taken into custody, according to a statement from Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett and Lawrence Police Chief Roy Vasque.

Edgardo Carabello, 50, of Nashua, New Hampshire, was taken into custody at his residence on Vegge Drive by Nashua police Friday, according to the statement.

Authorities say Carabello has been charged with murder.
