Darren Martell, a 23-year-old Vermont man, pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder in the death of his 82-year-old neighbor, Roberta Martin, in Enosburg.

Martell appeared in court after being charged at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, where he was already jailed for an unrelated offense.

Martin was reported missing prompting a search by Vermont State Police, who discovered signs of a break-in at her home.

Her remains were found on July 21.

Franklin County State’s Attorney Bram Kranichfeld described it as a "terrible tragedy." Martell, living next door to Martin, had been previously arrested for lewd conduct.

He remained in jail with legal representation uncertain.

Azuradee France, a 33-year-old mother from Detroit, was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison for pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the death of her 3-year-old son, Chayce Allen.

Chayce's body was found decomposing in a freezer in June 2022, revealing he died from blunt force head trauma.

Despite initial felony murder charges, France's plea deal resulted in dismissal of other charges.

During sentencing, Judge Tracy Green cited France's history of childhood abuse and lack of mental health treatment.

The case echoed a previous incident in Detroit where a mother was sentenced to life in prison for killing her children.

France's sister expressed the family's devastation in court, while prosecutors highlighted previous complaints of abuse to Child Protective Services.
