Suspect In Weymouth Murder Indicted

WEYMOUTH, MA — A man wanted in connection to a murder has been indicted by a grand jury.

A Norfolk County Grand Jury recently came down with an indictment against Cornell Bell, according to the Patriot Ledger. The man is wanted for the death of Michele Clarke and has been on the run since the Aug. 19 murder.

Police began investigating the murder after a friend of Clarke called Weymouth police and expressed concerns for her safety. Police responding to Clarke's Lake Street apartment found her dead with obvious wounds.

Bell, who has used the aliases Tony Smith, Mark Simmons, Cornel James, Cornel Carara, Cavin Lebert, and Kerrol Florizel Bailey, is considered dangerous and may be armed. Police ask that you do not approach him if you see him, but dial 911 and report his location.

He is wanted under two of his aliases for outstanding warrants in Massachusetts, one for assault with intent to murder in 1997 and the other for armed robbery in 2002.

Police believe that Bell may be in the Miami-area.

Anyone with information on this homicide, or possible information on Bailey’s whereabouts, should call the Massachusetts State Police at 508-820-2121 or the Weymouth Police Department at 781-335-1212.
