Person in custody after woman found dead outside hotel in Marlboro
MARLBORO - One person is in custody after a woman was found dead in a hotel parking lot Thursday afternoon in Marlboro.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said the woman's body was found behind the Holiday Inn on Lakeside Avenue. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
Police could be seen focusing their investigation on a pickup truck surrounded by crime scene tape in the parking lot Thursday evening.
"I just came to stay at the hotel but I will definitely be changing my mind now," said Teri Barroso. "My daughter actually lives in this area, so we came down to visit but I thought it was a safe neighborhood. I would never have imagined that something like this happened in Marlboro."
The woman and the person in custody haven't been identified. The Holiday Inn manager said neither of them were guests at the hotel.
