ORANGE — The New Hampshire man piloting the small plane that crashed last year on New Year’s Day, killing his daughter, has been indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
A Franklin County grand jury returned an indictment charging Steven T. Fay, 57, of 8 Wall St., Hillsborough, N.H., in connection with his operation of the dual-engine Cessna 310F that crashed on Jan. 1, 2011 near Orange Municipal Airport.
Fay was flying a twin-engine plane, which he was not licensed to fly, which is the basis of the charge.
Fay is expected to be arraigned in Franklin Superior Court on one count of manslaughter for “unintentionally and unlawfully” causing the death of Jessica L. Malin, 35, by means of “wanton or reckless conduct,” according to the district attorney’s office.
