PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A Massachusetts man was convicted of first-degree murder Tuesday for killing his girlfriend inside her Bucks County home nearly two years ago.
On June 8, 2022, Northampton police responded to a home on the 12000 block of Clark Court for a “report of a suicidal subject.”
Bodycam footage shows the officers knocking on the door and announcing their presence, but no one answering. Shortly after that, gunshots were heard and a 4-year-old girl covered in blood opened the door, telling the officers that her mother, 31-year-old Samantha Rementer, had been killed by her boyfriend, 37-year-old Thadius McGrath, who then shot himself.
Police entered the home and found another younger child sitting in a height chair. They removed both kids from the home and brought them to safety.
Police then discovered Rementer dead on a bedroom floor. They say she had blunt force trauma to her face and an electric cord wrapped around her neck.
McGrath was suffering from self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the face.
