A Massachusetts man was stabbed to death in Jaffrey in the early hours of Saturday morning and police are investigating it as a homicide. 

Following an autopsy Saturday, the state Attorney General’s Office announced that Jake Seaburg, 23, of Acton, Massachusetts was killed by a stab wound to the chest Saturday morning.

State and Jaffrey police were on the scene in Jaffrey Saturday investigating around a cordoned-off apartment building on the corner of Route 202 and Laundry Way. 

In a press release Saturday, Jaffrey Police Chief Todd Muilenberg assured the public that while the death is suspicious, there is no active threat to the public.

“We will release further information when possible but we wanted our citizens to know that they are safe and a full investigation is underway,” Muilenberg wrote on the department’s Facebook page.

Jaffrey Police directed further questions about the death to the State Attorney General’s office. 

NH Attorney General Director of Communications Kate Giaquinto would not confirm whether there had been any arrests in the case or any alleged perpetrators in custody.
