The girlfriend of former New England Patriot star Aaron Hernandez has been indicted on a perjury charge in a case of murder of one of the player's friends.
According to People.com, a Massachusetts prosecutor announced on Friday that a grand jury indicted Shayanna Jenkins on a single count in relation to the investigation into the June 17 killing of the friend, Odin Lloyd.
Lloyd was found shot to death in an industrial park in North Attleborough, Mass., near Hernandez's home, where Jenkins also lives, the report said.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Lloyd's death and is being held without bail, the report added.
A message was left for Jenkins's lawyer and the prosecutor revealed that Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, also was indicted on a new charge of conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact, the report further said.
