Ashland, NH: NH woman due in court in Ashland killing

ASHLAND, N.H.—Authorities aren't saying what led to the fatal stabbing of an Ashland, N.H., man in his apartment.

Thirty-five-year-old Clair Jax was arrested Thursday at the home of 54-year-old Kevin Doane, who was found dead. She was arraigned Friday on two alternate counts of second-degree murder, one alleging that she knowingly caused Doane's death and the other alleging that she recklessly caused his death.

Doane's neighbors say Jax had recently moved in with Doane. Prosecutors would say only that they knew each other.

An autopsy performed Friday showed that Doane died of multiple stab wounds to the chest and abdomen.
