Man Charged In Windsor Locks Murder Returned To CT: Police

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT - A local man accused in a fatal stabbing was returned to Connecticut from New Jersey, where he was arraigned on charges related to a fatal stabbing, according to police. Quahzier Bouie, 24, of 74 Main St., was apprehended by authorities in Neptune, N.J., last month and is facing charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and tampering/fabricating evidence.

He was held on $2 million bond, according to police. He was scheduled to appear in Enfield Superior Court Monday.

Bouie is the boyfriend of Jessica Keene and the father of their child. Jessica Keene was charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of her father, Michael Keene, 51.

"An extensive investigation continued resulting in probable cause being established implicating Bouie in the stabbing death of Michael Keene," police previously said in a statement.

Police began investigating the case in November when a neighbor complained of a foul odor coming from Michael Keene's apartment.

When police searched the apartment, they found Michael Keene's body stuffed into a plastic bin and covered with a green comforter. He had suffered sharp force injuries to the neck torso, according to a police report, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Jessica Keene later admitted to police stabbing her father following a dispute Nov. 17. She was angry because her father called her boyfriend a racial slur, according to police. He was also drunk and came at her, so she said she defended herself.

However, following the admission, Jessica Keene refused to cooperate with police.
