23-year-old man has pleaded innocent in the alleged beating death of a Pittsfield man who's been missing since February.
Damien James Lamb allegedly killed Brandon LaBonte, 21, over a debt of no more than $150, the Berkshire Eagle reported. LaBonte's body has not been found.
At Lamb's arraignment Friday, Berkshire District Attorney David Capeless said Lamb lured LaBonte to a Becket residence "where he then murdered him by strangling him with rope, beating him with a shovel and then stomping on him."
Prosecutors said Lamb left Massachusetts after police questioned him about LaBonte's disappearance and eventually settled in Davenport, Iowa. Police arrested Lamb on Wednesday after he returned to Westfield for his father's wake.
