BRISTOL, Conn. (TCD) -- A jury recently convicted a 57-year-old man in connection with the "brutal" stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend in 2020.
New Britain Judicial District State’s Attorney Christian Watson announced Dec. 18 that a jury found Kevin Bard guilty of the murder of 58-year-old Catherine Streeto-Michaud, as well as three counts of criminal violation of a protective order and criminal violation of a standing protective order.
On Dec. 13, 2020, at approximately 9:25 p.m., Bristol Police officers received a welfare check request on Streeto-Michaud, WFSB-TV reports. The caller, Bard, reportedly told police he killed her, and officers subsequently responded to the home on Vance Drive, where Bard was sitting on the couch.
Police searched the home and located Streeto-Michaud dead in a bedroom with fatal stab wounds.
According to WFSB, Bard and Streeto-Michaud had been in a long-term relationship, but they were not allowed to contact one another due to multiple protective orders in place.
The Division of Criminal Justice said Bard made statements to family members and friends during the trial. He is set to be sentenced on Feb. 15, 2024.
