The man Mix 104.1 midday host Erin O'Malley was dating is charged with murder and she's playing a key role in the case. The Metro West Daily News reported on the case in which O'Malley took the stand yesterday. "I was very distraught, because somebody was dead and I'd been lied to for years," O'Malley said about her state of mind on Oct. 1, 2009, the day she discovered that Robert Upton, the man she'd dated for the past few years, had been charged with murdering a Framingham man."
O'Malley's testimony yesterday was part of the murder trial of Treefon Manoloules, the Southborough man prosecutors say instructed his son Christopher and Upton to murder his brother, Aris Manoloules. Treefon Manoloules is married to Upton's sister, Deborah. All three men are charged with his murder. Treefon Manoloules is the first to stand trial.
The paper says police searched O'Malley's apartment the day her boyfriend was arrested and came up empty. A few days later O'Malley said, she had a "gut feeling" the police missed something, and, with the help of her sister, found what appeared to be a gun case and a box of bullets in a brown paper bag leaned up against a box containing a fake Christmas tree. O'Malley said she pried open the case with pliers hoping she'd find nothing inside. Instead, she testified, she found a black Ruger P85 9mm handgun that prosecutors have said her ex-boyfriend had bought hours before he shot Aris Manoloules dead.
