BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A grand jury in Maine has indicted a 48-year-old Bradford man for murder in connection with the Nov. 12 beating death of a general contractor.

Peter Robinson was indicted Wednesday by the Penobscot County grand jury in the Nov. 12 death of 71-year-old David Trask of Hudson.

Police say Trask and Robinson knew each other and that a dispute between them erupted into a confrontation. The state medical examiner’s office says Trask died from blunt head injuries.

Trask was the owner of David P. Trask & Son Inc. in Hudson.

Robinson, who owns an automotive garage, was arrested five days after Trask’s body was found on property near Robinson’s home.
