WRENTHAM, Mass. (AP) - A man accused of fatally stabbing his
blind aunt at her Plainville home and hiding her body in a closet
has been indicted, moving his case to Superior Court.

A Norfolk County grand jury indicted Thursday 41-year-old
Randall Carpeno on first-degree murder in the March stabbing death
of April Mackie.

Police say Carpeno had moved from Round Rock, Texas, to live
with 56-year-old Mackie.

District Attorney William Keating says Mackie's body was found
after a Texas friend of Carpeno's alerted police.

Authorities said that Carpeno had previously lived in Massachusetts and was on probation in Texas.

Carpeno's attorney, William Sullivan, said he had yet to see
documents from the indictment and couldn't comment.

A Superior Court arraignment has not yet been scheduled. He
pleaded not guilty in district court.
