Prosecutors say Devin Dube also injured his sister and father before police arrested him 45 minutes later.
- On Tuesday, Devin Dube, 29-year-old Hudson man, allegedly beat his 90-year-old grandmother, Elaine Dube, to death with a skateboard at their Munson Street home, also wounding his sister and father, according to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan.
- Dube fled the scene before police arrived, but authorities located him 45 minutes later hiding in a van on nearby Tower Street and arrested him without further incident.
- Prosecutors stated Wednesday that Elaine Dube suffered "significant cranial and facial injuries" in the attack; Ryan noted the skateboard has not yet been recovered.
- Judge Pacifico M. DeCapua ordered Dube to undergo an examination for "competence to stand trial" during Wednesday's arraignment and sent him to Bridgewater State Hospital for mental health evaluation.
- Hudson Police Chief Richard DiPersio described the incident as a "senseless tragedy," emphasizing this was not a random act of violence and assuring residents there is no ongoing threat to the public.
