Two more Massachusetts state troopers linked to the Karen Read case are under an internal affairs investigation after her trial, which included allegations of a law enforcement effort to frame Read in the killing of her police officer boyfriend, ended with a hung jury this month, authorities said Wednesday.
The troopers, Detective Lt. Brian Tully and Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik, will remain on active duty during the investigation, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts State Police said.
A third trooper who is also under investigation, Michael Proctor, was suspended without pay this month after a three-member panel made the recommendation following a duty status hearing.
The agency spokesperson would not provide additional details about the investigations into Tully and Bukhenik.
The interim state police superintendent, Col. John Mawn, has said the agency was reviewing allegations of “serious misconduct” raised at Read’s trial about Proctor, the lead investigator in the case.
