A Newburgh man has been charged with murder in a stabbing at the Varick Homes apartment complex. James Rich, a 35-year-old from Newburgh, arrived at the City of Newburgh courthouse wearing a white jumpsuit and in handcuffs and shackles Friday afternoon. He's charged with second-degree murder in the death of a man inside a Newburgh apartment last night. Rich was taken into custody overnight, several hours after authorities say he fatally stabbed 76-year-old George Harding in the head. The incident unfolded around 10:20 p.
