Decades after another man was tried, charged, and acquitted, John Michael Irmer was finally arraigned on Monday in Boston after allegedly admitting to authorities last month that it was he who hit Susan Marcia Rose over the head with a hammer, killing her just one night before Halloween more than 40 years ago.

Irmer, 68, was arraigned Monday morning at the Boston Municipal Court, a clerk confirmed with Law&Crime. He faces charges of murder and aggravated rape. Irmer confessed to agents at an FBI office in Portland, Oregon, last month, according to Massachusetts District Attorney Kevin Hayden.
