Trial For Man Charged with Murder Continued to October

A 24-year-old Southbury man charged with the murder of his friend had his trial continued to Oct. 21, on Tuesday.

David Eisenbach was arrested in March after his friend, 24-year-old Michael Weaving was beaten and burned and buried dead in the woods off of Berkshire Rd.

According to court records, Eisenbach, Weaving and a third man, Tom Curley were drinking at a campsite along the Pomperaug River.  Weaving had also taken a clonazepam pill given to him by Eisenbach.  Eisenbach left Weaving and Curley alone and said he returned the next morning to find Weaving dead.

The two men buried the body and, after police interviews, Curley was found dead in what is believed to be a suicide.

Eisenbach is charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with evidence, hindering prosecution and sale of illegal drugs.
