Earlier this week, the State Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy and determined 41-year-old Dustin Christopher Doran had died by homicide. Doran is a former resident of Newton and an online obituary says he died at his home in Clinton. A 30-year-old Norwalk man has been charged with first degree murder and first degree arson. State court records show Trevor Allan Jeorge has 14 previous convictions on simple and aggravated misdemeanor charges. Clinton County records show Ward was arrested Saturday (3/26) — the same day as the murder — and charged with public intoxication and assault causing bodily injury, with notation of mental illness on the jail’s record. According to a news release from Clinton County officials, firefighters responding to a 9-1-1 call quickly put out the fire in Doran’s apartment in Clinton last Saturday and found his body inside the residence.
