Couple Indicted In Cape Cod Man's Murder

MASHPEE, MA – A couple has been indicted in connection with the death of a Mashpee man late last year. Eli Perry, 38, and his girlfriend, 30-year-old Paige Malone, are charged in the killing of Perry's father, Raymond.

Perry faces charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon on a person 60 or older, the Cape Cod Times reported. Malone has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder and unlawful disposal of a human body.

The body of 65-year-old Raymond Perry was found in December near the Plymouth-Carver line, over two weeks after he was reported missing. He was hidden under a pile of mulch at a Plymouth farm, and his hands and feet had been bound with zip ties, according to the Times. The body was found lying on a rug that came from his home in Mashpee.

Perry's cause of death was blunt for trauma to the head, combined with "cutting wounds" to the neck, according to the Barnstable District Attorney.
