SHREWSBURY, Mass. (AP) - Prosecutors say the sister of a
Shrewsbury man charged with killing his wife tried to help him
cover up the death.

Lisa Ricardo was ordered held on $20,000 bail after pleading not
guilty in Westborough District Court on Monday to a charge of
accessory after the fact.

Prosecutors say Keith Rosiello killed his wife, Maureen, last
Wednesday. They allege Rosiello and Ricardo tried to resuscitate
Maureen Rosiello, then cleaned the house in an attempt to cover up
the death. Keith Rosiello did not call police to report his wife's
death until Thursday.

Ricardo's lawyer said his client was the one who persuaded her
brother to report the death to authorities.

Keith Rosiello is being held without bail after pleading not
guilty to murder.
