A New London man with a long criminal history was arrested Friday and charged with the December stabbing death of his girlfriend in Pomfret.
Timothy Quail, 46, whose last known address was 47 Coit St., was charged with murder and second-degree larceny, according to police. He was already being held in a Suffield prison after being arrested Dec. 30 by New London police for failing to register as a sex offender.
Quail allegedly beat and stabbed to death Robin Cloutier, 38, of Pomfret, police said. Her body was found Dec. 16 in her Wolf Den Drive apartment by her father, police said. Cloutier died from multiple stab wounds and cutting injuries, according to the state medical examiner's office.
After obtaining a warrant, state police detectives from the Eastern District Major Crime Squad charged Quail with the killing shortly after 10 a.m. Friday.
Quail's criminal history dates back to at least 1988 when he was convicted of third-degree sexual assault. Since then, he has been required to register with the state as a sex offender.
His criminal record includes multiple arrests for charges that include burglary, drug possession, larceny, third-degree assault, probation violation and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
He was also arrested in 2004 by South Windsor police for failing to register as a sex offender.
During an appearance in Danielson Superior Court Friday, Quail was ordered held on $1.5 million bond, and his case was continued to March 24.
