Petitbois ordered held without bail on murder charge


(NECN: Prat Thakkar, Lynn, Mass.) - A Massachusetts man who fled to New York City last week returned to the Bay State to face murder charges today.

Rodlyn Petitbois pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon at his arraignment. He's been ordered held without bail.

Prosecutors say the 25-year-old Petitbois fled to New York City with his girlfriend, Louna Eveillard, and their four young children Wednesday after he allegedly stabbed 33-year-old Greenland Etienne during a fight. Eveillard and Etienne were friends.

Eveillard has been charged with helping Petitbois flee.
