Attorney General Joseph A. Foster, New Hampshire State Police Colonel Robert L. Quinn, and Londonderry Police Chief William R. Hart, announce that further information is available regarding a homicide investigation in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

On May 24, 2016, Londonderry police responded to 2 Currier Road in Londonderry to check on the welfare of the resident, Richard R. Verville (age 71). During a search of the home, police discovered an adult male identified as Daniel Rabideau (age 59), who was dead from a gunshot wound to the head. During a further search of the home, police discovered Richard Verville, who was critically injured but alive, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Mr. Verville is in a hospital in Massachusetts and is stable but unresponsive.

The State's Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Thomas A. Andrew, completed an autopsy today on Mr. Rabideau. Mr. Rabideau's cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head and his manner of death is homicide.

Based on the investigation to date, it appears that Mr. Rabideau, a City Fuel employee, went to Mr. Verville's home on May 24, 2016, to service Verville's heating system. As Mr. Rabideau was working on the heating system, Mr. Verville shot Mr. Rabideau and then turned the gun on himself. Mr. Verville was apparently suffering from significant mental health issues at the time of the incident.

The investigation is still ongoing.
