1 Dead, 1 Hospitalized After Suspected Domestic Violence Incident In Winchester: PD

WINCHESTER, CT — One person has been killed and another seriously injured in what police are describing as a suspected domestic violence incident.

Chief of Police Christopher C. Ciuci said police were dispatched Monday night around 9:41 p.m. to 222 Oak St.

A person called 911 after discovering blood inside the house, police said.

When officers arrived and entered the residence, they found Carrie Stetson, 54, deceased and Leon Stetson, 67, seriously injured.

Leon Stetson was transported to Hartford Hospital via Life Star helicopter, and he was listed in critical condition as of Tuesday morning, police said.

Winchester police declined to comment Tuesday on the cause of their injuries or how the two people are related, citing an open and ongoing investigation.

Town assessor records show the property is co-owned by Leon and Carrie Stetson, who purchased it in 1997.

The Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crime Squad responded to the scene at local police’s request to assist with the investigation.

“Preliminary information gathered indicates domestic violence and there is no danger to the community,” Ciuci said.

Anyone with information can contact the Western District Major Crime Squad at 800-203-0004 or the Winchester Police Department at 860-379-2721.
