The father of an Islip man charged with killing a friend was indicted on a charge of perjury after he testified he didn't know the whereabouts of clothing his son may have worn the day of the slaying two years ago, according to court papers.
The twin sister of the accused, Thomas Liming, also gave testimony that was "so evasive" that she was charged with criminal contempt, prosecutors said in the papers obtained by Newsday Wednesday.
On Tuesday, defense attorneys for Keith Liming, 53, and his daughter, Elaine, 21, confirmed the charges against the pair, who pleaded not guilty on Monday. The lawyers contended Keith and Elaine Liming truthfully testified before the grand jury in State Supreme Court in Suffolk. Wednesday, Elaine Liming's lawyer, George Duncan of Central Islip, declined to comment, and Keith Liming's attorney, David Cohen of Kew Gardens, could not be reached.

The father and twin sister of a defendant in the slaying of 18-year-old Kyle Underhill were arraigned this week on charges involving the grand jury investigation into the 2011 homicide, lawyers said.
Keith Liming, 53, of Islip, was charged with first-degree perjury, and his daughter Elaine Liming, 21, was charged with first-degree criminal contempt -- felony accusations based on their grand jury testimony in the case of Thomas Liming, 21, according to their defense attorneys and court records.
Thomas Liming was charged in November with second-degree murder in the death of Underhill, his former classmate and friend.
