Dinis Moreira of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, is being held without bail after he allegedly beat his neighbor, Valerie Oakhem, 58, to death with a hammer.
Police received a call just after midnight Friday about a woman found bludgeoned on the kitchen floor of a home in Bridgewater, Mass.Investigators believe Oakhem’s attack was targeted, not random.
The DA’s office said Moreira and Oakhem were friends, and he invited her over for a drink the night she was killed."Who expects their family member to murdered with a hammer?" Gail Teed, a friend of Oakhem’s told WFXT."There was no need. Absolutely no need. This woman helped him all the time since his wife passed away. All the time. She didn’t deserve this, nothing. She didn’t deserve none of this.
Oakhem’s ex-husband reportedly shouted at Moreira in the courtroom Friday:"I’ll see you in hell, Dinis!" "Nice guy, he’d wave to you," Schneider said."Come over and gave us some bread a couple of weeks ago. Nothing wrong with the guy."
