WOBURN — Two Wakefield men will be heading to trial in April in connection with the Dec. 26, 2010 murder of Woburn Police Officer John J. Maguire. Maguire helped foil a  jewelry heist at Kohl’s on Washington Street in Woburn during a blizzard and was killed in a subsequent shootout.

One of the Wakefield men, 23-year-old Scott Hanright, was indicted on 22 criminal counts in 2011, including first degree murder. Kevin Dingwell, 55, is charged with being an accessory to robbery after the fact and two counts of misleading a police officer.

Hanright and Dingwell reportedly participated in the attempted armed robbery with career criminal Dominic Cinelli, who was killed in the shootout with the mortality wounded Maguire. Dominic Cinelli’s brother Arthur will also stand trial April 22 in Middlesex Superior Court.

Arthur Cinelli is accused of helping his brother plan the jewelry heist and also to have joined him in robbing Stoneham’s Stop and Shop at gunpoint about a month before the Maguire murder. At least one of the Wakefield men reportedly was involved in the Stoneham robbery too.

At about 8:40 p.m. the day after Christmas 2010 Woburn police responded to 911 calls of an armed robbery at the jewelry counter of Kohl’s Department Store. Police quickly arrived at the scene and encountered Dominic Cinelli, who was fleeing the store with bags of stolen jewelry clutched in his hands.

Maguire and Cinelli exchanged gunfire. Both men were killed. Maguire was due to retire in February 2011 after 34 years of service. The gunfire exchange with Cinelli was said to be the first time Maguire ever discharged his weapon while on-duty.

Hanright, who allegedly was the lookout, took off down Washington Street, where Dingwell reportedly picked him up in a motor vehicle. Both men were eventually arrested by police.

A spokeswoman for Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan has said that the years of delay in the trial of the Arthur Cinelli, Hanright and Dingwell were caused by massive amounts of pretrial activity and evidentiary motions filed by prosecutors and defense attorneys.

In the wake of Maguire’s death, it was learned that Dominic Cinelli had been paroled despite having been convicted of three life sentences. Elected officials and citizens from across the Commonwealth demanded the state parole system be reformed.

A memorial to Jack Maguire rests at the Reading end of the shopping plaza that includes Kohl’s, not far from Russell Farm.
