LUNENBURG, MA — Orlando Garcia Rosado, 57, has been indicted by a Worcester County Grand Jury for the murder of Maria Murray, 53, in their Lunenburg home last December, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early, Jr. announced.

The indictment stems from an incident on December 26, 2023, when Lunenburg Police responded to a residence at 1790 Massachusetts Ave. around 8:45 PM. Officers found Murray with multiple stab wounds; she was transported to Leominster Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Rosado was promptly arrested and charged with murder and assault and battery on a family/household member. Following his arraignment in Fitchburg District Court on December 27, he was held without bail.

With the indictment, Rosado’s case will proceed to Worcester Superior Court for arraignment on a future date. The investigation and prosecution are ongoing, led by the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office.
