LACONIA — During his opening statement in the second murder trial of Hassan Sapry on Tuesday morning, state prosecutor Alexander Kellermann told jurors Sapry used knives, forks, a sword, the glass window of an oven and a small television to kill Wilfred Guzman Sr. on an early April morning in 2019.

Sapry, 27, is charged with nine counts, including first- and second-degree murder, in the 2019 death of Guzman Sr. in his Blueberry Lane apartment. Kellermann and attorney Jeffery Strelzin represent the State of New Hampshire in the case.
