More evaluation ordered for Mass. stabbing suspect linked to Deep River homicide

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts individual charged with assault with intent to murder after six people, including four girls at a movie theater, were stabbed and wounded in separate attacks , has been re-committed to Bridgewater State Hospital for further evaluation on criminal responsibility.

A judge ordered the extended evaluation after Jared Ravizza, 26, of Chilmark, a town on Martha’s Vineyard, appeared in Plymouth District Court on Monday.

A lawyer representing Ravizza declined to comment.

Ravizza was arraigned in May in connection with the stabbings of two employees at a McDonald’s in Plymouth.

Ravizza has also been charged with eight counts of assault in connection with the stabbings of the four girls, ages 9 to 17, at the movie theater in Braintree on May 25.

Authorities said that attack occurred before Ravizza drove south to Plymouth, where the fast food workers were stabbed.

A dangerousness hearing has been continued to next week.

In May, Connecticut State Police said they linked Ravizza to a homicide in Deep River on May 25.

The victim- identified by state police as 70-year-old Bruce Feldman of West Hartford- was pronounced dead on scene outside a home on Maritone Lane.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said Feldman’s death was ruled a homicide and he died from stab wounds to the torso and head.

While investigating Feldman’s death, troopers learned that 26-year-old Jared Ravizza of Chilmark, Mass., had been staying at the home with him. Authorities in Connecticut believe Ravizza stabbed Feldman to death.
