WORCESTER, Mass. – Police in Worcester have arrested a man they say removed a body from the ground and mislead a police investigation.
Xavier Broughton, 32, was arrested Monday night after police discovered a dead male at his home, 4 Valley Hill dr.
The identity of the body has not been determined, but the Worcester Police Department has said it is a male. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.
