A New Hampshire man charged with fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend in a Massachusetts restaurant where she was attending a book club meeting has been committed to a mental health facility for an additional six months.
Court officials tell Masslive.com that at a hearing Wednesday at Bridgewater State Hospital, it was determined that Carlos Asencio would remain held there for up to six more months.
The 32-year-old Derry, New Hampshire man had been at the facility since his arraignment last month on a murder charge in the July 3 stabbing death of 31-year-old Amanda Dabrowski, of Ayer, in O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar in Worcester. A not guilty plea has been entered on his behalf.
Authorities say the suspect stabbed the victim as she left the restroom.
His attorney has not commented.
