WOBURN, Mass (WGAN)- A Maine man who is accused of killing his mother and grandparents in Massachusetts has been indicted on four counts of first-degree murder.
Orion Krause, 22, will be arraigned on those charges in Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn Massachusetts. Arraignment is set for 9 a.m. April 11, according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office.
Krause is accused of killing his 60-year-old mother, Elizabeth Krause, her parents Elizabeth Lackey, 85, and Frank Danby Lackey III, 89; along with the elderly couple’s home health aide, Bertha Mae Parker, 68.
The Rockport, Maine native allegedly admitted to committing the killings with a baseball bat in Groton, Massachusetts on September 8, according to police. Krause, who told investigators that he “freed them,” is being held at Bridgewater State Hospital, but was found mentally fit to stand trial in October.
