Mass. man to face murder charges today

A 31-year-old Massachusetts man is scheduled to face charges today for the murder of a man outside a Pawtucket methadone clinic.

Police say John Duffy and the victim, Ronald Leone, were standing in line outside the Addiction Recovery Institute in October 2007 when they got into an argument about holding the place in line for a woman.

Police say Duffy got upset that Leone wanted to allow the woman to return to her place in line after she had left. The argument escalated and, police say, Duffy stabbed Leone at least twice; once in the head and once in the side.

Duffy is scheduled to appear in Superior Court, Providence, today.
