Woman charged with murder of Weymouth woman – NBC Boston

A woman has been charged with murder, several months after a Weymouth, Massachusetts woman was found dead in her home in April.

Kelly Shaw, 44, was charged this month with the murder of Christine Mello. Investigators say Shaw lived with Mello at her Weymouth home.

Mello was reported missing before her body was found in the Lake Street home on April 1, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said. Police initially described the case as an apparent homicide, but no one was immediately charged in her death. Instead, Shaw and another man, John “Jack” Harper, 45, were charged with theft, including theft of a motor vehicle and check forgery.

Shaw was indicted by a Norfolk County grand jury this month on a charge of first-degree murder. She pleaded not guilty in court on Thursday.

A man and a woman face charges as authorities continue to investigate the murder of a Weymouth woman.

Shaw has been in custody since her arrest in April. She was issued a no-bail warrant for her arrest on murder charges. Her next court date is scheduled for September 30.

Harper has not been charged with murder. The case remains under investigation.

A couple have been arrested in connection with the death of a woman who was found in her Weymouth home.

A friend told NBC10 Boston that Mello had recently inherited money and was hoping to buy the house where she lived.
