BOSTON (WHDH) — A South Boston man has pleaded guilty in a decades-old cold case out of New Hampshire dating back to 1984.
Michael Lewis, 65, pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter related to homicides that occurred in 1984 and 1993.
According to officials, one of the cases involved the killing of Brian Watson, 23, whose body was found off I-93 South in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 1984. Watson was last seen alive in July 1984 and reported missing a month later by his mother. His body was discovered by a passerby approximately 40 feet from I-93 South. He was later identified through dental records.
Following an investigation, authorities determined that Lewis and another man, both involved in South Boston’s drug trade, had shot Watson in Boston and transported his body to New Hampshire.
Lewis was indicted for first-degree murder in 2022.
