(Watertown Radio)- New charges have been filed against a Watertown murder suspect that makes him eligible for the death penalty–if he’s convicted.
Forty one year-old Jeremiah Martin Peacemaker is accused of killing 28 year-old Kendra Owen at her Watertown residence last year. Police were called to conduct a welfare check on Owen after friends and family had not seen or heard from her.
They found her deceased, with numerous signs of trauma on her body.
Police quickly identified a suspect, and the day after Owen’s body was found, they arrested Peacemaker in Watertown.
