Caius Domitius Veiovis writes of disdain for 'Twilight' franchise - and media's reporting skills - in jailhouse letter

PITTSFIELD – Triple-slaying suspect Satanist Caius Veiovis wants the world to know that he is not speaking with a forked tongue when it comes to expressing his disdain for the Twilight movie and book franchise.

“Pop culture inspires me to vomit hot blood,” wrote Veiovis in a jailhouse letter sent to the Berkshire Eagle.

The 31-year-old Pittsfield resident, along with Adam Lee Hall, 34, of Peru, and former Springfield resident David Chalue, 44, are charged with abducting and killing three men whose bodies were recovered from a trench in Becket on Sept.10.

Pittsfield residents David Glasser, 44, Edward Frampton, 58, and Robert Chadwell, 47, were last seen on Aug. 28. in an apartment shared by Glasser and Frampton.
Veiovis, who started life as Roy C. Gutfinski, chides the media for reporting that his adopted name comes from a character in the vampire-based romances which has inflamed the passions of legions of mostly young and mostly female fans.

“I have never seen this silly movie, nor have I read the books, nor would I ever — even now — waste my time with such useless drivel,” wrote Veiovis in a florid, almost unreadable, script.
The suspect, who really does have a forked tongue, also sports sharpened teeth and “666” inked onto his forehead. In his booking photo, Veiovis had what appeared to be a pair of horns or tusks protruding from his nostrils.
The letter, signed Caius Domitius Veiovis, underscored by an upside-down cross and “666,” was received by the Berkshire Eagle on Monday.

“My first and middle chosen names were inspired and taken from the great Roman emperors Caligula and Nero, my last — from an ancient Etruscan daemon,” wote Veiovis.
The suspect was convicted of aggravated assault and other charges in a Maine courtroom over a decade ago in a case that involved the ritualistic drinking of a 16-year-old girl’s blood.

The three were arrested and charged with murder in connection with the disappearance of three men in a case against a Hell's Angels member. The victims' bodies were found Saturday, and the three suspects will be arraigned Monday in Central Berkshire District Court in Pittsfield, Mass.

Veiovis closes the body of his letter with a reprimand guaranteed to strike fear in any reporters heart. “Anyone who knows me should have told you this — I suggest you check your sources,” he wrote.

A postscript, however, sheds the blood and brimstone and injects a note of remorse.

“P.S. I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families involved in this tragic case,” Veiovis wrote. “The deceased are not the only victims here.”

Police allege that Hall, a sergeant at arms with the local Hells Angels branch, plotted to kill Glasser to prevent him from testifying against him in another case. Police said they believe Frampton and Chadwell were killed because they were present when Glasser was taken.
