HOULTON – Jury selection is getting underway Thursday in the trial of a man charged with killing a couple before setting fire to their home in the northern Maine town of Oakfield.
The trial for Matthew Davis was moved to Washington County Superior Court in Machias after a judge was unable to seat a jury in Aroostook County.
Davis is accused of shooting 51-year-old Michael Kitchen and 49-year-old Heidi Pratt in their bedroom, setting the home afire and then fleeing.
The killings happened in September 2013. He’s charged with two counts of murder, along with arson, theft and aggravated criminal mischief.
