WATERTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Police say the Connecticut man charged with killing a widowed teacher inside her home this month will face new charges.

Police announced on Monday that they had obtained a warrant for 48-year-old William Bayarinas in the killing of 70-year-old Maryann Kibbe-Staniz.


Kibbe-Staniz was found dead in her Watertown home Jan. 9, five days after Bayarinas had been released from custody.

Police say Bayarinas, already facing charges related to a Waterbury burglary in the days before the killing, was connected to Kibbe-Staniz's death through evidence collected at the scene.

Police said he will be served with the warrant charging him with Kibbe-Staniz's slaying during his appearance Tuesday in Superior Court in Waterbury.

Police say he once lived near the victim.

It was not clear if he has a lawyer.
