Middleboro Police launched an investigation along with Massachusetts State Police assigned to the District Attorney’s Office and identified Andrew Horsman, 41, as the suspect. He was taken into custody without incident “in close proximity to the residence,” the authorities said.

According to the authorities, witnesses on the scene reported there was an argument at the home that led to the stabbing. The authorities said Pomerleau had been in a long-term relationship with Horsman’s mother.

Horsman is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow on a charge of murder in Wareham District Court.
