A Montpelier man with mental health was in Vermont Superior Court

A Montpelier man with mental health was in Vermont Superior Court in Barre on Monday to face a charge of aggravated murder that killed two family members, officials said. Matthew Gomes, 29, was taken into custody at the home at 579 Gallison Hill Road about 11:30 a.m. Friday. Police developed enough evidence to lodge him hours later at the Northeast Correctional Complex (NECC) in St. Johnsbury. A state judge ordered Gomes held without bail pending his arraignment. Gomes made self-incriminating statements during and after his 911 call to Montpelier Police about harming his relatives. Law enforcement still had the Montpelier home sealed off. This marks the third time in two months in Vermont that an adult son has been implicated in the death of one or more parents. Police said Gomes is well-known to law enforcement.
