CONCORD, N.H. (WHDH) - An 18-year-old New Hampshire man has been indicted on murder charge in connection with a vicious hammer and knife attack that left his father dead, officials announced Thursday.
Joseph Beam, formerly of Antrim, was indicted by a grand jury on one count of first-degree murder in the 2019 death of 41-year-old Jason Beam, according to New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald.
Joseph “purposely” caused his father’s death by “assaulting him multiple times” with a hammer and a knife, MacDonald said.
Joseph is currently being held without bail.
