“Now it’s time to die.” Bristol County man who pleaded guilty to breaking into home, beating, raping neighbor, granted parole with conditions

A Bristol County man who beat and raped his neighbor has been granted parole with conditions. According to the Parole Board, at 2:30 a.m., on August 2, 1994, 18-year-old Joshua Kinzle broke into the North Attleboro home of his neighbor. Armed with a golf club, he proceeded upstairs, where he beat the 44-year-old victim, who was home alone and asleep in her bed. Kinzle then raped her (multiple times), sodomized her, and forced her to perform fellatio. He told her, “Now it’s time to die.” At that point, the victim punched out the screens of her bedroom window. She hung out the window and screamed, causing neighbors to call the police and Kinzle to leave. When police officers arrived, they observed a great deal of blood in the victim’s bedroom, including blood on a broken golf club. The victim was taken to the hospital, where she eventually underwent reconstructive surgery on her face.
