A grand jury on Friday indicted three people in connection to the Sept. 22 death of 41-year-old Douglas Rose in East Falmouth, according to Cape and Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois.

Kimberly McCarthy, 52, of East Falmouth, Tishaun Miller, 42, of East Bridgewater, and Charee Rainey, 41, of Brighton, were indicted on charges of murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering, kidnapping, and conspiracy. All three are being held without bail at the Barnstable County Correctional Facility in Bourne.

Galibois said he could not divulge details about allegations but said more information will be available at the arraignment, which had yet to be scheduled as of Monday afternoon. He said Assistant District Attorney Michael Giardino, who will prosecute the cases, is expected to ask that the defendants be held without bail.

"I appreciate the work by the Falmouth Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to my office that investigated this matter," said Galibois.

Falmouth police responded to a 6:25 p.m. 911 call about a disturbance at Rose's 250 Davisville Road home in East Falmouth on Sept. 22, former District Attorney Michael O' Keefe had said at the scene. Upon arrival, they found Rose in front of his home, bleeding profusely from what appeared to be stab wounds.

Although medical treatment was provided at the scene, Rose, 41, was later pronounced dead at Falmouth Hospital.

Evidence suggests the cause of the altercation was a dispute over $600 and narcotics, according to an earlier release.

Rainey was arrested in Texas on Sept. 28 and brought back to Massachusetts after he waived extradition, according to Falmouth District Court records. He was then arraigned on Oct. 6 in Falmouth District Court.

According to his obituary, Rose was a former Falmouth High School student and had a son and daughter.

The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the state police and the Falmouth Police Department, according to the district attorney's office.
