Ricardo out on bail

SHREWSBURY —
The Raynham woman who allegedly attempted to help her brother clean up his Deerfield Road home after authorities say he murdered his wife was released on $20,000 cash bail last Wednesday.
Westborough District Court Judge Vito Virzi set bail for Lisa Ricardo, 38, at $20,000 during her arraignment last week. Virzi set several other conditions for Ricardo’s release, including remaining under house arrest, staying in Massachusetts, surrendering her passport and wearing a GPS monitoring device. Ricardo’s husband posted her bail, according to Westborough District Court records.
Ricardo was arrested Feb. 5 and is charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact and two counts of reckless endangerment of a child. Her brother, Keith Rosiello, 44, was arrested Feb. 4 and charged with the murder of Maureen Rosiello, 44.
Assistant District Attorney Anthony Marotta said during Ricardo’s arraignment she arrived at the Rosiellos’ home at 32 Deerfield Road on Feb. 3 and was present for some parts of an argument between the Rosiellos that resulted in Maureen Rosiello being injured.
Ricardo allegedly told police her brother attempted to force his wife into the bathroom against her will and later obstructed her airway in an effort to control her before returning her to the couch.
Her brother, she said, later approached her and said Maureen Rosiello “did not look good.”
Ricardo and Rosiello attempted four cycles of CPR to resuscitate her while monitoring her vital signs with a pulse oximeter, a device that measures the oxygen saturation of a patient’s blood. Both brother and sister work in a medical-device industry.
Ricardo also told police she and her brother cleared the victim’s airway of vomit and moved her back to the couch after they discovered a pulse. The two reportedly planned to stay awake throughout the night to monitor her condition, but Ricardo said they both fell asleep.
At 6 a.m. Ricardo said her brother woke her up and told her Maureen Rosiello was dead.
Neither Ricardo nor Rosiello called police until six hours after the victim’s death. The couple’s two children, ages 6 and 12, were at the home the night of the attack and Ricardo allegedly took the children to her home in Raynham. Virzi ordered her to stay away from the two children.
Marotta also said Ricardo helped her brother board up the windows and wash down the walls of the home before she left Feb. 5 at 12:15 p.m. Rosiello called police at about 12:45 p.m. to say he had been in a fight with his wife and she was not breathing.
Ricardo, who was being held at MCI-Framingham, is due back in Westborough District Court Feb. 22 for a pre-trial hearing. Keith Rosiello is due back in court the same day.
