A Merrimack man has been charged with killing his wife at their home.
The New Hampshire attorney general's office says 62-year-old Joseph Lawrence was arrested Thursday night. His wife, 61-year-old Darlene Lawrence, was found dead at their home earlier in the day.
Lawrence has been charged with second degree murder and is due in court for arraignment Friday afternoon. It was not immediately known whether he has an attorney.
An autopsy conducted on Friday shows that the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the neck, which has been ruled a homicide.
