Billerica Man Charged With Attempted Murder After Allegedly Beating Girlfriend
BILLERICA (CBS) -- A Billerica man was charged in court Monday with the attempted murder of his girlfriend last week.
Jesse Fillerup, 24, is accused of beating a 26-year-old woman in a Rogers Street home Thursday. The woman remains hospitalized in critical condition.
The victim's relative told WBZ-TV last week that the woman was savagely attacked.
"Well he kicked her, kicked her in the head. That's what they say. They said when they put him in the cruiser, they said 'take his shoes, when you get up to the station take his sneakers. We want that for evidence because he's going to court Monday.'"
Fillerup was charged with assault with intent to murder, assault and battery causing serious bodily injury and assault and battery on a household or family member. He is being held without bail until a dangerousness hearing next week.
