An Amazon Echo smart speaker could provide crucial evidence in a double murder case in the United States after a New Hampshire judge ordered the tech giant to provide investigators with recordings of the same. apparatus.
The speaker, who includes voice assistant Alexa, was seized from a Farmington home where two women were killed in January 2017.
Timothy Verrill, 36, is accused of killing Christine Sullivan and Jenna Pellegrini by stabbing every woman several times.
Judge Steven M. Houran wrote in the court order that an echo device present in the house had been able to capture audio data that could provide vital evidence in the case .
"The court believes that there is a probable reason to believe the server[s] and / or the recordings maintained for or by Amazon.com contain recordings made by the Echo Intelligent Speaker from January 27, 2017 to January 29, 2017, and that this information contains evidence of crimes against Ms. Sullivan, including the Attack and possible removal of the body from the kitchen "during this period," wrote Judge Houran.
He then ordered Amazon to "immediately produce in court all recordings made by an Echo intelligent speaker equipped with the voice command function Alexa", as well as "any information identifying the cellular devices coupled to this speaker during this period".
Mr. Verrill pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and alleged charges of altering the crime scene.

This is not the first time that US authorities are trying to obtain data from an Amazon Echo device to help solve a murder.
In 2015, Arkansas police seized an Echo device as part of an investigation into the alleged murder of Victor Collins, whose body had been found floating face down in a hot tub.
Amazon provided the data only after the person accused of murder voluntarily agreed that the recordings be given to the investigators. The case was closed in November 2017.

Amazon has not responded to a request for comment on the latest case, but the company has previously stated that it "will not disclose customer information without a valid and binding legal request duly notified to us".
He added: "Amazon objects naturally addressing excessive or inappropriate requests."
