Nerys was arrested on a murder warrant, according to state police, who were waiting for him alongside the Chelsea Police Department when he showed up to a monthly meeting with his probation officer.
Prosecutors say Nerys will be arraigned Thursday in Chelsea District Court. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
"There's no replacing a lost family member. There's only memories and grief and the process of bringing those responsible to justice," District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement.
