Mainer accused of fatal cyanide mailing back in court

Submitted by Around Town Web... on Tuesday, January 5th, 7:10 am

BANGOR, Maine (AP) -- A Maine man accused of mailing cyanide to an Englishman is due in court to face new charges.

Investigators say Sidney Kilmartin of Windham advertised and mailed a substance he claimed was cyanide to several suicidal people. The substance was actually Epsom salt.

But they say he mailed the real thing to Andrew Denton of Hull, England, to keep him from telling investigators about his moneymaking scheme. Denton used the cyanide to take his life.

Kilmartin, who was due in federal court Tuesday, was originally indicted on charges of mailing injurious articles resulting in death. A grand jury last month returned indictments on new charges of witness tampering and witness retaliation.

Police said Kayla Massicotte was arrested on warrant, bail violation, and possession of heroin.

Police confirm the suspect in the incident has died.

Witnesses tell NEWS CENTER that police had a vehicle pulled over when a man exited the car and ran away towards some woods. Witnesses then say they heard what they believe to be gunfire.

"He walked up with the cop, leaned against the hood, and he looked really sketchy because, all I did was see him look back twice of his shoulder and then out, not a second later, he darted through the woods. I'd say about 30 seconds later, I heard about 12 gunshots," said Ryan Wylie, who witnessed the incident.
