Police officers responding to several 911 calls went to a Waltham apartment complex at about 10 p.m. Thursday and found Martel on an outside patio with multiple stab wounds Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said.
In court prosecutors described a brutal and determined attack saying Remy assaulted Martel in the kitchen living room on a stairway and then pinned her to the ground in the patio where he stabbed her several times. Neighbors who tried to help Martel were driven back when Remy slashed at them Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Lisa McGovern told a judge.
