Jacob Morrill Arrested for Alleged Axe Murder of Landlord

Jacob Morrill, a 24-year-old tenant facing eviction in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, has been charged with first-degree murder, accused of killing his landlord, Xue Feng Wu, with an axe. The police, conducting a welfare check after Wu was reported missing, initially left the property without suspecting foul play, as Morrill claimed that Wu had left to attend a court hearing. However, they later discovered that the hearing pertained to eviction proceedings against Morrill. After receiving a tip about a potential crime at the home, and later a confession from Morrill himself, police found Wu’s body on the property, leading to Morrill’s arrest and subsequent detention without bail.
