(Samantha Mercado/Patch) FRAMINGHAM, MA — Investigators on Thursday released new details about the apparent slaying of 28-year-old Jasmyn Beatty, but they also said it's unclear if her death happened either in a random attack or by someone she knew. Beatty was found Tuesday morning at the Halstead Apartments by a man who knew her, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said during a news conference Thursday. Police found Beatty with a "significant" slash wound to the back of her neck, but Ryan would not say if a weapon was found at the scene.
