Man accused of Federal St. attack faces life behind bars

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - The man charged for fatally attacking a woman in Springfield last year could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Western Mass News confirmed Tuesday that Kenneth Robson has accepted a plea deal in connection with second degree murder charges.

Back in April 2024, officers responded to a domestic disturbance on Federal Street. That’s where they found a 45-year-old woman with a serious head injury who died at the hospital a few weeks later.

Robson was arrested the day of the attack and now faces 25 years to life in prison.

No word yet on when he’s set to learn his fate.
