Authorities say he stabbed Grace Burton 35 times inside her Farmington home last June. Police believe robbery was the motive.
The Bangor Daily News reports that the 27-year-old Contreras was tied to Burton’s death through DNA evidence from blood found at the scene. He had been living in Farmington at the time, a short distance from Burton’s home.
His lawyers have asked for a psychological review.
