Killer pens letter about ’88 slaying of Fall River woman

‘I did as I was told’

Stone-cold killer Daniel Tavares tells the Herald in a chilling letter from prison he “will plea to the charge of murder” in the 1988 stabbing death of a 32-year-old Fall River mother, but he’s showing no remorse — and cruelly refusing to apologize to her three daughters.

In the letter to a Herald reporter from a Washington state prison cell, Tavares claims Gayle Botelho was killed because she and another man “decided to steal from the wrong people.”

“I remember every single thing about that day. … Stuff like that gets burned into your memory,” Tavares wrote.

And gets printed on Page One of the Herald.

Meanwhile, crosstown at the Boston Globe, the stately local broadsheet has nothing new on Daniel Tavares.
