Three people have been charged with interfering in a police investigation as the probe continues into the death of a Falmouth man, the Cape & Islands district attorney’s office said today.
Karim Jit Singh, 34; Salinder Singh, 60; and Malkit Thind, 48, of Falmouth are facing charges.
All three were arrested on Friday. Thind posted $100,000 cash bail set by a bail commissioner. But the other two were held without bail over the weekend so a Punjabi interpreter could be available, and Judge Michael C. Creedon set bail at $100,000 cash.
The arrests were made as part of an investigation into the death of Jaswinder Singh, 46, said District Attorney Michael O’Keefe’s office in a stattement. The three defendants and the alleged victim all lived in an apartment on Main Street in Falmouth.
