Man charged in strangling on McGrath Street BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A Laconia teen has been charged in the overnight strangling death of a man who lived in the same support home at 24 McGrath Street. Kasey Riley, 19, is charged with one count of second-degree homicide for recklessly causing the death of Zachary March, 27. A statement to media issued by the N.H. Office of the Attorney General said city police were called to the home at 1:42 a.m. Monday
where they found an unresponsive March. He was later declared dead at the scene. Riley was also in the home. He is being held at the Belknap County House of Correction and is scheduled to appear by video arraignment in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning at 10 a.m. According to Genesis Behavior Health Director Maggie Pritchard, 24 McGrath St. is one of two of her agency’s support homes in Laconia. She declined to comment spe-
cifically on either Riley or March other that to confirm they both lived there. She said a “support home” differs from a “group home” in that a “support home” provides homes for people who might become homeless and have some kind of emotional or mental disability. A “support home” has programs but not 24-hour supervision. A “group home,” said Pritchard, has 24-hour supervision. “It has not been a group home for nine years,” Pritchard said. see STRANGLING page 3
