Sudbury Man Accused Of Killing Parents Will Remain In Custody

WOBURN – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan has announced the results of a hearing today in Framingham District Court for defendant Mikhail Young, 24, of Sudbury in which Judge Douglas Stoddart ordered Young to remain in custody on a charge of Fugitive from Justice. This charge stems from an arrest warrant issued out of the Superior Court of the U.S. Virgin Islands Division of St. Thomas and St. John for the murder of the defendant’s parents.

Judge Stoddart scheduled the next hearing in Young’s case for Thursday, June 4.

The defendant is currently on probation out of Framingham District Court on a charge of indecent exposure. He is being held without bail pending a violation of probation. As of today, the defendant has not waived extradition.

At approximately 8 p.m., Monday, May 4, the Sudbury Police Department was notified by the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department that two people, a couple on vacation from Sudbury, were found murdered in the Virgin Islands. Virgin Islands law enforcement contacted Sudbury Police to inquire if the victims’ son was in Sudbury.

On May 5, a probation warrant was issued for Young, the defendant was brought to the Framingham courthouse, and a complaint alleging Fugitive from Justice was issued. The bodies of Kenneth Young, 73, and Jane Young, 66, were found on Sunday, May 3.

These charges are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The prosecutor assigned to the hearing today was Assistant District Attorney Nate Burris.
