An Martial Arts instructor from New Hapshire has been charged with murder for strangling a student. The victim Elizabeth better know as “Lizzi” by her friends, whose body has been missing for the past week was 19 years of age. The accused instructor (Mazzaglia) said “things are good” three days after the victims death one day before his arrest, an acquaintance said last Monday. For some reason police have not said what led them to arresting Mazzaglia in relations to this case or how he knew Elizabeth. Mazzaglia is 29 years of age and was charged with second-degree murder on saturday. Click below for more info
Family and friends spent several frantic days searching for her before charges were announced over the weekend. Police have not said what led them to arrest Mazzaglia or how he knew Marriott.
The 29-year-old Mazzaglia graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2006 with a degree in theater and was known as the “go-to guy” for fight choreography in the area, said Craig Faulkner, producing artistic director at Seacoast Repertory Theatre in Portsmouth.
Faulkner said that he’s known Mazzaglia for several years because Mazzaglia has auditioned for acting roles at the theater but that he hadn’t seen him in about a year, until he felt a tap on his shoulder while shopping in Best Buy in Newington on Friday afternoon.
