Brynn Comtois is charged with one count of second-degree murder for recklessly causing her mother’s death, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office said in a statement.
Seabrook police responded to a 9-1-1 call around 11:18 p.m. on Sunday to the Rockingham Village Apartments, officials said. There, the officers found Cheryl Stoddard, 45, dead with an apparent stab wound.
An arrest warrant was issued for Stoddard’s daughter, Comtois, on Monday and the 24-year-old was arrested.
