NASHUA – Christopher Gribble’s father, Richard Gribble, just finished testifying about the events before and after Kimberly Cates was murdered Oct. 4, 2009.
Richard Gribble identified the machete and the knife prosecutors say were used by his son and by Steven Spader during the attack as the blades he kept in his Brookline home.
Gribble said he looked for the machete he kept in his garage and a knife he kept in the basement after hearing about his son’s arrest and couldn’t find either.
He said he bought the knife, a Boy Scout knife, at a Boy Scout camp in California when he was a teenager.
Judge Gillian Abramson just recessed the trial for lunch. She told jurors the case is moving quickly and that the prosecution has two more witnesses to go.
