MANCHESTER, NH — Two city men are under indictment for attempted murder, one accused of repeatedly stabbing a woman and the other alleged to have nearly beaten a man to death.
A Hillsborough County Superior Court North grand jury indicted Carlos Alden, 27, of 80 Walsh Ave., Apt. 1, on one count of attempted murder, seven charges of first-degree assault and one count of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon.
He is accused in the June 2 repeated stabbing of Natasha Vallieres, 27, who had broken off a relationship with him.
At 1:17 a.m. that day, police were called to Vallieres’ apartment for a reported stabbing. Officers followed a blood trail into the building which led them to a bathroom where Vallieres was bleeding heavily from stab wounds to her leg, arm and forehead.
She told police Alden tried to kill her.
According to the indictments, Alden stabbed her in the head, twice in the thigh, in the mouth, the tongue, the shoulder and twice in the chest.
Dennis M. Roberge of 21B Wheelock St., second floor, was also indicted for attempted murder, second-degree assault and criminal restraint in the May 22, 2019 beating of James Tuson.
Police went to Roberge’s apartment on May 22 for the report of an intoxicated person who would not leave.
According to the indictments, Roberge knocked Tuson to the ground, straddled him, then turned him over and punched him on both sides of his face. He then smashed Tuson’s face into the ground several times before hitting him repeatedly in the face and smashing his face into a wall. He allegedly had another person hold Tuson down on the ground while he continued attacking Tuson causing him to cease breathing and become unresponsive — “an attempt to cause his death,” according to the indictment.
When police arrived, three people were on top of Tuson, who was the subject of the intoxicated person call. They removed the individuals to discover that Tuson was blue and not breathing. Eventually, he came to and was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Among others indicted were:

According to the indictments, between May 2 and May 25, 2017, Brissette made a claim to State Farm Insurance Co. that her barn had collapsed due to heavy snow when, in fact, Brian Boucher pulled the barn down using his truck after she reported a claim but before State Farm could examine the property.
On Oct. 4, 2018, Brissette allegedly committed perjury when she filed a signed affidavit for the Superior Court affirming, to the best of her knowledge and recollection, that her barn collapsed from the weight of accumulated snow when, in fact, the indictment says, the barn was damaged because Brian Boucher pulled it down with his truck.
