Living with demons Former Augusta man faces murder
charges
By Betty Adams Staff Writer September 18, 2011
AUGUSTA -- A prosecutor recommended in 1999 that 20-year-old Roy
Gutfinski Jr. be kept behind bars for as long as possible.
Deputy
District Attorney Alan Kelley baldly stated Gutfinski, on trial in a bizarre
assault case, would continue to be a problem -- both for himself and for
society.
"Quite simply, the only guarantee of safety is adult
incarceration," Kelley wrote as a judge was poised to sentence Gutfinski in a
ritual blood-letting case that left a 16-year-old girl scarred for
life.
Kelley's words were prophetic.
Gutfinski was convicted of
elevated aggravated assault and served 7 1/2 years of the 10-year sentence --
one of his various periods in Maine and Massachusetts jails.
This week,
now living under the name of Caius Domitius Veiovis after a legal name change in
2008, he pleaded not guilty in a Massachusetts court to three counts each of
murder, kidnapping and intimidation of witnesses. The former Augusta man now
faces the possibility of three life sentences without parole.
Veiovis,
31, and two others are accused of killing three men on or about Aug. 28 in
Pittsfield, Mass., allegedly to prevent one of them from testifying.
A
look at Veiovis' history -- largely through Maine court documents and previously
published stories -- offers a picture of an increasingly self-loathing person
who lapsed into recreational drug use, cultivated a fascination with knives and
adopted demon worship to repel people....
A neuropsychologist who
evaluated him said teachers noted a preocccupation with devil worship and
resistance to authority. Another counselor said the boy "exhibited very
dangerous and threatening behavior" and didn't want to change....
Then,
in August 1999, he watched in his darkened downtown Augusta apartment as his
17-year-old girlfriend took a razor and sliced a 16-year-old girl in the small
of her back.
The wound required 32 stitches to close.
Gutfinski
and his girlfriend then licked the blood and kissed.
He told police he
was a vampire, but one who was without fangs and able to go about in
daylight.
At that 2000 sentencing hearing, Roy C. Gutfinski Sr. told the
judge his son was a very active child who was later diagnosed as hyperactive,
and hospitalized for drug problems....
After the 2000 conviction,
Gutfinski began altering his appearance, with small horns that appear as bumps
implanted in his forehead, filing his teeth, reshaping his earlobes and
gathering tattoos.
He also had small horns implanted in his septum.
However, those long, tooth-like horns in his nose are absent in photos of his
recent court appearance in Massachusetts.
A tattooed "666" on his
forehead showed prominently....
