Man charged with killing 5-year-old who was found dead in a suitcase 9 years ago

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Nine years after the body of a 5-year-old boy was found in a suitcase along the side of a Massachusetts highway, the former boyfriend of the child’s mother faces arraignment on a murder charge in connection with the death. Prosecutors say 32-year-old Alberto Sierra Jr faces arraignment Thursday (May 18, 2023) in Worcester Superior Court on charges of murder and disinterring a body in the death of Jeremiah Oliver. An email seeking comment was left with his attorney. Jeremiah’s body was found in April 2014, but the boy was last seen alive in September 2013, and was not reported missing until December of that year.
