Daniel Marsh, 16, held in murder of elderly couple, was hailed as boy hero in 2009

A Northern California teen once praised as a hero is suspected of being a cold, heartless killer. Daniel William Marsh, 16, was charged with double homicide Tuesday for the April stabbing deaths of an elderly couple at their home in Davis, west of Sacramento. The slayings of Oliver Northup, 87, and his wife Claudia Maupin, 76, were "willful, deliberate and premeditated" and "manifested exceptional depravity," prosecutors said in a charging document. Marsh, who was 15 at the time, allegedly lay in wait until they returned home. He is accused of inflicting torture before finally taking their lives, reported The Sacramento Bee.
