 |
Adam Lee Hall, 34, David Chalue,44, Caius Veiovis, 31, and David Casey, 62, have been indicted and will be arraigned in Berkshire Superior Court in the near future, according to District Attorney David Capeless.
Hall was indicted on three counts of murder, three counts of kidnapping and four counts of intimidation of a witness. Chalue and Veiovis each face three counts of murder, three counts of kidnapping and three counts of intimidation of a witness. Casey was indicted on three counts of accessory after the fact, murder - three counts of accessory after the fact, kidnapping and three counts of accessory after the fact, intimidation of a witness.
Hall, Chalue and Veiovis are accused of kidnapping and killing David Glasser, 44, Edward Frampton, 58, and Robert Chadwell, 47, aftert kidnapping from a Linden Street apartment. Casey is accused of assisting in the disposal of the remains.
The three men were reported missing on Aug. 28 and police discovered their remains buried on private property in Becket about two weeks later. Hall, Veiovis and Chalue were charged with the murder while police continued searching property. Later in September, Casey was charged with being an accessory and accused of supplying the excavation equipment used to bury the bodies of the three men.
Prior to the disappearance, Glasser was scheduled to testify against Hall on kidnapping, assault, intimidation, extortion, and cocaine distribution charges.
That case started with a dispute between Hall and Glasser. Hall accused Glasser of stealing an automobile part from him in 2009 and then allegedly beat Glasser with a baseball bat. Later, Hall was accused of trying to frame Glasser for a robbery to prevent him from testifying against him. The case against Hall was postponed after Glasser went missing.
Frampton and Chadwell were "in the wrong place at the wrong time," according to Capeless.
The grand jury held the pre-trial hearing on Wednesday and Thursday.
