KENNEBEC, Maine —
David B. Silva Jr., the former Carver man accused of murdering the Maine man who welcomed him into his home, was arraigned Monday on charges of murder, arson and robbery.
Silva, 32, cried as Justice Michaela Murphy of Kennebec County Superior Court told him conviction on the murder charge carries a minimum penalty of 25 years to life in prison, and convictions on the other charges carry terms of up to 30 years in prison, The Kennebec Journal reported.
Maine police say Silva shot Robert Orr, 53, in the head on Feb. 8 before robbing him and torching the Readfield, Maine, home they both lived in.
According to relatives, Orr, the son of former Carver Police Chief Thomas Orr, and his wife were letting Silva and his girlfriend to live with them while they got back on their feet.
According to prosecutors, Silva shot Orr to death while his wife was at work and set the house on fire before fleeing to Massachusetts in the dead man’s truck.
Silva left the pickup truck, along with Orr’s American bulldog, Bo, in the parking lot at Marshfield’s Rexhame Beach before hiding out in his parents’ Carver home. He was arrested Thursday after State Police surrounded the house and took him into custody.
