AUGUSTA, Maine — One of three teenage boys charged in connection with the April 2018 death of a Litchfield woman has been indicted on charges of intentional or knowing murder and criminal conspiracy to commit murder.
William Smith of Ashland, Massachusetts, who was 15 when 47-year-old Kimberly Mironovas was found dead in her Litchfield home, was indicted Thursday by a Kennebec County grand jury.
In July, a Kennebec County judge ruled that Smith would be tried as an adult.
A decision on whether Mironovas' son, Lukas Mironovas, now 16, will be tried as an adult is still pending.
Thomas Severance, now 14, of Massachusetts, pleaded guilty to conspiracy.

Prosecutors allege that the three teens crushed prescription pills and put them into a beverage that was drunk by Kimberly Mironovas. When the drink failed to kill her, Lukas Mironovas and William Smith allegedly strangled her, causing her death, according to the indictment.
