BROCKTON, Mass. — A former Brockton man accused of slaying three people in Maine has been ordered sent back to Maine to face charges there.
Nicholas J. Sexton, 31, appeared in Brockton District Court on Wednesday morning before Judge Paul Dawley.
Sexton hid behind a wall partition, and behind his public defender, James Murphy, during the pretrial hearing.
Dawley said a warrant from Gov. Deval Patrick had been received by the court for Sexton’s rendition to Maine.
“I’ll order him transported to Maine,” Dawley said after conferring with Murphy and prosecutor Dave Belger.
A status hearing was scheduled for Nov. 9. It was unclear Wednesday morning when Sexton would be transported to Maine.
Sexton was held without bail during his Oct. 4 arraignment in Brockton District Court. He is charged with being a fugitive from justice from a warrant out of Maine. The Maine warrant charges Sexton with three counts of murder, arson and flight to avoid prosecution.
On Oct. 4, law enforcement officers stormed an apartment house on North Montello Street in Brockton to capture Sexton, who had been a fugitive. Authorities said they traced Sexton to the North Montello Street apartment through a cellphone.
Sexton and Randall “Ricky” Daluz, 34, of Taunton, Mass., were indicted on murder charges in Maine in late September. Daluz was captured in New Bedford, Mass., on Oct. 2 and was arraigned in that city the next day.
Three bodies were found inside a burning car with Rhode Island plates in a Bangor, Maine, parking lot early on Aug. 13. Maine authorities have said the victims were shot before the car was torched.
Sexton used to live in Brockton and has had several criminal cases in Brockton District Court, the most recent one from 2005.
The victims in Maine were Daniel Thomas Borders, 26, of Hermon; Nicolle Ashley Lugdon, 24, of Eddington; and Lucas Alan Tuscano, 28, of Bradford.
BPD…. is one helluva police department!!…. All involved, did a remarkable job in solving this gruesome case!!!
Yes they did.
I am glad to see that someone who could do such a vicious thing will be held to account even though it means he has to come back to Maine.
Where are the people who are going to go on an on about him being a good guy and a “BAMF”
Wouldn’t that be FASOB?
well this case is a little extreme – especially for maine standards. when that bobby surles guy killed the other person in bangor supposedly due to “gang related” vendettas people came on here and said the killer (i forgot who it was now) was a BAMF and some other stuff…it makes me sick really.
Sounds like you love it.
TROLL
How can the case be considered solved when nobody has been found guilty yet? When the Dominican gang members that actually ordered this done are sent packing then give BPD the atta boy. The Dominican’s are here to take over the drug trade and they’re playing hardball. When have you ever heard someone say they are afraid to rat out someone because they could be next?
technically no; however, I have confidence in the dotted their I”s and crossed their T”s. THEY (BPD)… did their job!!! That is what I am saying!! You do NOT know, for a fact, it was gang related!! The old adage of being afraid of ratting someone out, is older than dirt!!!
unlike in the more populated states with one city after the next to hide in, In Maine 99% of the time catch their man.. Rob a bank in Maine where are you going to go. out in the country? These small towns they know everybody and their uncle.. they can spot you a mile away if you look out of place. Gangs aren’t moving in. They may drop of dope but they are not moving here.
I see your comments almost daily about this, that and the other. Do you recall the large bust on Ohio St this summer. The main guy had 4, I repeat 4 different apartments about Bangor. And where was he from? Hmmm, I do believe he was Dominican. if having 4 different apartments ain’t moving in just what is. I see you comment alot but that don’t make you right.
Isnt Nicholas the one of the guys who runs in the sausage/kielbasa races at Milwaukee Brewers baseball games? Think a fan reached out and hit him with a bat one time………..
Would be so nice when they find this guy guilty to put him down…. Really would….
He’s going to federal prison, he won’t like the prison gangs out west.
I hear Nick is doing well, hasn’t touched drugs or booze in at least a month.
