DA: Murdering Roslindale man sought to have wife killed so she couldn't testify against him

Corliss charged with trying to rub out getaway
driver - his wife.Edward Corliss, the Roslindale man who's already spent time in jail for killing one store clerk and now faces trial for killing another, tried to get another inmate to kill his wife and two other people he suspected of ratting him out, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office says.

Proseuctors also charged Corliss sought the inmate's help in busting him out of custody by gunning down guards taking him to court or to a doctor's appointment at Shattuck Hospital - for which Corliss allegedly promised to pay him $2 million from the proceeds of an armored-car holdup he was planning for after his escape.

Prosecutors also said today that his wife was the driver of the white car that Corliss escaped in after he allegedly gunned down Surendra Dangol in a Tedeschi store in Jamaica Plain on Dec. 26:

"Specifically, he told the inmate that he wanted him to kidnap and kill her,” [Assistant District Attorney Patrick] Haggan said, adding that Corliss wanted the inmate to "make it look like natural causes or … kill and bury her in a way that her body would not be found."

A Suffolk Superior Court clerk magistrate today ordered Corliss held in lieu of $4 million bail on the four new witness-intimidation charges - not that he'd be going anywhere, since he's still being held pending his trial for Dangol's murder.

Prosecutors say the other inmate contacted authorities as soon as he got out of MCI Cedar Junction in March.

Innocent, etc.
