Convicted Killer's Body to be Exhumed from Middletown Veterans Cemetery

A convicted murderer’s body will be exhumed from the State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown after state officials say it doesn’t belong there, according to the New Haven Register.

Randall Beach of the Register reports that state officials removed the headstone of Guillermo Aillon, who was convicted in 1984 of murdering his estranged wife and her parents in North Haven in 1972, on Tuesday and his body will also be exhumed.

Aillon died in 2014 and was buried in the Middletown veterans’ cemetery.

The action to remove the headstone and exhume the body comes following an investigation by East Haven’s Kevin Dacey, who alerted the Register to the fact that federal regulation bars internment in a veterans’ cemetery if that person has been convicted of a capital crime.

The three North Haven victims, Aillon’s estranged wife Barbara and her parents George and Bernice Montano, were found stabbed to death in their North Haven home in August 1972.
