DeMoranville had five outstanding warrants for his arrest when he was spotted in East Freetown on Friday, walking across the property on Chace Road where a man allegedly murdered his girlfriend with a hammer last week. DeMoranville lives on the same street, police said.

One of the warrants dates back to October 22, when DeMoranville was arrested by Freetown Police for alleged breaking and entering and larceny, but later failed to show up to court. He has a lengthy history of breaking and entering and other alleged crimes, including once allegedly beating a man with DeMoranville's prosthetic arm, which has a hook for a hand.
