Man Arrested After Hourslong Standoff in Connection with Leominster Woman's Death

A domestic-related incident led to a multi-hour standoff and arrest; police found the victim's body after responding to a 911 call, officials said.

  • On Dec. 26, a man was taken into custody after a multi-hour standoff at 209 Union St., Leominster, where police found the body of a Leominster woman inside.
  • A 911 caller at about 3 p.m. gave the 209 Union St. address then disconnected, prompting a welfare check by Officers Tiffany Beaupre and Kyle Abazorius at about 3:04 p.m., who saw an unlocked side door and were cleared to enter.
  • Negotiators from State Police Crisis Negotiation Unit spent several hours containing the scene with drone camera monitoring before James E. Marsh surrendered at about 7:29 p.m.
  • In Leominster District Court, James E. Marsh, 64, pleaded not guilty and was held without bail until the Friday dangerousness hearing.
  • Authorities say the case is domestic in nature and are limiting public details, withholding names for now, while the Leominster Police Department, Massachusetts State Police detectives, and Worcester County District Attorney's Office continue investigating.
