Teens Charged in Houlton Death Head to Court

HOULTON, Maine - Two teenagers charged in the slaying of a 61-year-old Houlton man are heading to court.

Eighteen-year-old Reginald Dobbins and a 16-year-old boy, both from Houlton, are scheduled to appear Monday in Aroostook County Superior Court at 11 a.m. on murder charges. The younger suspect's name was not released because of his age.

They have both been held in the county jail since their arrest Friday.

They are charged with killing 61-year-old Keith Suitter, whose body was found inside his mobile home on March 1.

Suitter's pickup truck was found in a snowbank nearby.

No details of the death or what led to the suspects has been disclosed. It could not be determined if the suspects had lawyers.
