BECKET - The bodies of three Pittsfield men, allegedly slain by three suspects with ties to the Berkshire chapter of the Hells Angels, were found buried on private property here, according to the District Attorney's office.



The bodies of David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell, missing for nearly two weeks, were found Sept. 10, covered with boulders and dirt, the Berkshire Eagle has reported.



Springfield resident David Chalue, 44, and Caius Veiovis, 31, and Adam Hall, 34, both of Pittsfield, were arrested about a week later and charged with the kidnapping and murder of David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell.

Meanwhile, state and local police conducted what they described as a “high visibility patrol operation“ Saturday in Lee, coinciding with the Angels’ annual party, Lobster Fest, according to the Berkshire Eagle.

The organization’s clubhouse is just south of the Lenox town line.

Police believe Hall, Chalue and Veiovis killed the three men to prevent Glasser from testifying in an upcoming trial against Hall, a ranking member of the Berkshire County chapter of the Hell’s Angels.

Veiovis, Hall and Chalue denied all charges at their arraignments Sept. 12 in Central Berkshire District Court in Pittsfield. Each was denied the right to bail and is being held pending their trial.

Veiovis, who sports distinctive facial tattoos, body modifications including a series of horn-like bumps on his forehead, gained notoriety in Augusta, Maine, in 1999 when he and his girlfriend were put on trial for assaulting a teenage girl in a motel room as part of a ritualistic blood-drinking ceremony. He was then known as Roy C. Gutfinski Jr.
