According to charges filed in Clay County District Court on Monday Kasondra Consuelo Malyn Perez committed the crimes on Friday Warning: The following details are upsetting The criminal complaint says Perez attacked and tried to kill a woman and later kidnapped and raped another woman allegedly because she was upset that the two victims had been texting each other. Perez went to the first victim's apartment on Friday and sprayed lighter fluid on her then attempted to light her on fire with a lighter so Perez took out her "throwing knife" and stabbed her ex in the face and armpit Police talked to the victim at Sanford Hospital in Fargo, where she was being treated for a stabbing/cut wound on her face and a stab wound to her armpit. Her clothing smelled of lighter fluid, according to the charging documents. After fleeing the first victim's home, Perez then went to a friend's apartment in Fargo. The friend and the second victim then arrived, though Victim 2 left because of Perez's "anger and actions toward her." Perez allegedly followed her outside and assaulted her. The victim told investigators that Perez hit her multiple times, shoved her face in a snowbank and pushed her, causing her to fall and strike her head on concrete steps, Perez then forced their mutual friend to drive them to Minnesota to Perez's sister's apartment, where they went inside and the assault continued. The criminal complaint says Perez told her sister to leave because “she might not want to be a witness to this dumb b***** murder.” Perez then allegedly asked the victim "which room she wanted to die in," and then raped her, choked her, wrapped her in a bed comforter and laid on top of her so she couldn't leave. Both fell asleep for a time, and when the victim awoke she was allowed to leave the room to use the bathroom – giving her the opportunity to escape from a window and call police. Perez has been charged with 2nd-degree attempted murder, 2nd-degree assault, 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, felony domestic strangulation, 1st-degree aggravated robbery, threats of violence and 4th-degree criminal damage to property. a screening of the movie Sight and Sound says is the best movie ever made saying he'd killed the mother of his child which features a swimming

PHILIPPINES — The EON Group sets its sights on a stronger more vigorous presence in the regional communications industry with the return of Malyn Molina as its new President and Chief Operating Officer effective April 2022 Malyn assumes her new position following a five-year stint as Chief Operations Officer of Edelman Vietnam in which capacity she doubled the company’s retainer business and spearheaded its growth towards becoming one of the best performing markets in APAC with an impressive base of key clients Largely as a result of her dynamic and tenacious leadership Edelman Vietnam was able to protect its business through the harshest periods of the global pandemic and received Campaign Asia’s PR Agency of the Year Award in 2021 Malyn has held senior leadership positions at EON from 2009 to 2016 capped by her previous role as Managing Director of Engage “We are very happy to welcome back Malyn Molina,” says EON Chief Executive Junie del Mundo we anticipate a unique brand of

anchored on compassion,” she states “With the speed of change and the volatility of variables that leaders face day to day it would be very difficult for me to create a definite roadmap right now is to follow an internal compass that is oriented towards the highest values that are most important to myself and to the company and use that as our guide as we move forward together.” She is also keen on seeing EON develop into a more powerful and influential platform for showcasing economic and social opportunities in the Philippines during this critical period “I see the future of Philippine

Read our Privacy notice The father of missing chef Claudia Lawrence has described it as "absolutely dreadful" that people may have lied to police investigating her disappearance, as officers today took part in a detailed search of an alleyway at the back of her home. Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn, who is leading the inquiry, said he was sure his detectives had been lied to during the investigation, as the search of the alleyway got underway today. Miss Lawrence was 35 when she went missing in March 2009 and her family are prearing to mark what would be her 41st birthday later this week. She was last seen on Wednesday, 18 March, 2009, and her father Peter Lawrence reported her missing on Friday, 20 March, after she failed to turn up for her 6am shift at York University. Police believe she has been murdered. Speaking today Mr Lawrence said he had heard the comments made by Det Supt Malyn. He said: "I heard that and it's obviously absolutely dreadful that anyone would do that. "We know that people lie to the police but in a case like this that involves Claudia's disappearance and everyone can see what it's done to the the family... come on." North Yorkshire Police, who began reviewing the case in 2013, today cordoned off the alley behind the house as specialist officers carried out a fingertip search. Det Supt Malyn, head of the force's major crime unit, said: "The review remains very active and the team are currently working on a lead that may indicate the alleyway at the rear of Claudia's house is significant. "We still don't know if Claudia left for work on the morning of Thursday March 19 2009 or whether something happened overnight within her house. If the latter is the case, the person or persons responsible, in my view, would have used the rear alleyway as the front door leads on to a busy main road. This is why this specific piece of information needs to be fully investigated. "The activity today focuses on the alleyway with search-trained officers and a dog. Officers will be conducting house-to-house inquiries in the vicinity to jog people's memories about any vehicular access to the alleyway and how frequently this was used by neighbours or other pedestrians. "This includes contacting people who have since moved away from the area to assist the investigation. We are also checking again that no CCTV recording equipment in the neighbourhood has been overlooked." Following the start of the review in 2013, a 60-year-old man was arrested last year in connection with her disappearance and suspected murder but later released without charge. A 47-year-old man remains on bail on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. Det Supt Malyn said: "This is a very poignant week for Claudia's family and friends as they should be celebrating her 41st birthday on Friday, rather than marking another upsetting milestone since she disappeared almost six years ago. "Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time and as we approach the sixth anniversary of the investigation next month."

entertainment worth sharing – York and North Yorkshire March 18) marks the sixth anniversary of the disappearance of York chef Claudia Lawrence – and the head of the police investigation team has issued a hard-hitting statement to mark the milestone Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn says that they know that there are local people who are still trying to keep their relationship with Claudia a secret and that some have deliberately lied about their association with her head of North Yorkshire Police’s Major Crime Unit has headed up the investigation into Claudia’s disappearance since 2013 This is what we learned from his statement today Claudia returned to her Heworth Road home after a day’s work at the University of York’s Goodricke College where she was a chef She received two telephone calls from home that evening – one from her mother Joan and then from her father Peter Shortly before 8.30pm she sent a text to a friend working overseas He replied a short time later – “but we don’t believe Claudia read the text,” he said Claudia didn’t arrive at work at 6am the following morning At some point after speaking to her parents the previous evening the public provided a lot of useful information about what may have happened there were moments when new information came into the incident room which looked on paper to be really promising what had been a torrent of information in the early days was reduced to the occasional drip,” he said In January 2013 the detective who led the investigation retired with Claudia still missing North Yorkshire Chief Constable asked the county’s new Major Crime Unit to review the case in the autumn of 2013 The team have looked at the events and police inquiries with “a fresh perspective” and new fingerprinting techniques have revealed fresh evidence at Claudia’s home: we know that some people have deliberately lied about a number of issues concerning their association with Claudia Last month the police focused their attention on the alleyway that leads to the back of Claudia’s house “This was based on specific information that this review discovered causing me and the team to believe that the alleyway had potential significance in explaining what happened to her “This is still being very actively progressed.” Det Supt Malyn vowed to make the lives of those withholding information very difficult if they do not cooperate I would make a further appeal for those to come forward now and provide these explanations If I reach the point where we believe people continue to obstruct this investigation or assist or cover up for the person or persons responsible This is a very intrusive process involving interviews and searches which we will do in order to eliminate or implicate them in Claudia’s disappearance The police have arrested and interviewed two men about Claudia’s disappearance One remains on bail while their enquiries in relation to him continue “In the coming weeks and months we may make additional arrests as we continue to develop our lines of enquiry,” said the police chief “Six years have passed since Claudia disappeared the pain caused by her absence and the circumstances of her disappearance has not faded,” said Det Supt Malyn This is a view shared by Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy “We are hugely committed to uncovering the truth regarding Claudia and I do hope that someone will have the courage to come forward at this time,” he said will continue for as long as it takes to analyse all the evidence This is what Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn said in full a 35-year-old woman who lived in a quiet residential street on the outskirts of York vanished Most people who are reported missing are found within a matter of hours of being reported to the police But the case of Claudia Lawrence has proved to be a very very different sort of missing person enquiry Claudia had returned to her Heworth Road home after a day’s work at the University of York’s Goodricke College where she was a chef We know that she received two telephone calls from home that evening – one from her mother Joan and then from her father Peter she sent a text to a friend working overseas He replied a short time later – but we don’t believe Claudia read the text detectives worked hard to identify as many possible leads to help find Claudia The public of North Yorkshire – and beyond – provided a great deal of information about what may have happened in an effort to help us understand what had happened Claudia’s family and friends played – and continue to play – a very important part keeping Claudia in the public’s eye and urging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward what had been a torrent of information in the early days was reduced to the occasional drip then third anniversaries of her disappearance came and went the detective who had led the investigation retired with Claudia still missing North Yorkshire’s Chief Constable Dave Jones decided that the four-year-old enquiry should be thoroughly reviewed by the then newly-formed Major Crime Unit to see what opportunities existed with information given at the time and to re-invigorate interest in the case to generate new leads my team and I have been able to look back at the events of March 2009 and the enquiries that followed it at a different pace and with a fresh perspective Without the pressure of daily media attention we have spotted things that may not have seemed significant or hugely relevant at the time and to prioritise and put greater emphasis on certain aspects of the enquiry that this new team felt were necessary and warranted Additional fingerprints have been found using techniques that the review team have decided to capitalise on based on the advice of national experts There are a number of people who we now know spent time in Claudia’s house and who literally left their mark there; but those individuals have failed to come forward and acknowledge their presence in her home Other experts have been involved to help us understand what may have happened to her phone to identify vehicles of interest captured on CCTV and to advise on satellite navigation data that we have recovered By scrutinising in meticulous detail what people told the original enquiry and then comparing that with other information that was either available at the time or which has only recently come to light that there are people locally who knew Claudia and who have actively sought to keep that a secret – and we know who some of those people are; secondly We have arrested and interviewed two men about Claudia’s disappearance One remains on bail while our enquiries in relation to him continue In the coming weeks and months we may make additional arrests as we continue to develop our lines of enquiry In the light of information that has only recently come to the fore we are actively pursuing what are rightly described as new leads we focused our attention on the alleyway that leads to the back of Claudia’s house This was based on specific information that this review discovered causing me and the team to believe that the alleyway had potential significance in explaining what happened to her This is still being very actively progressed There are a number of people who are of very particular interest to me There are those who have yet to admit fully their relationship with Claudia or events in the days leading up to her disappearance Six years have passed since Claudia disappeared the pain caused by her absence and the circumstances of her disappearance has not faded has the guilt and knowledge that one or more people have about what happened to this young woman which is being supported and informed by a body of national experts in their respective fields will continue for as long as it takes to analyse all the evidence that was available at the time and the new information that has come to light since then as a direct result of our review The enquiry has the full support of North Yorkshire Police’s Chief Officer Team we may not be able to prove what happened to Claudia But that will not be for lack of determination nor whilst there are still clues that need to be investigated or know that you have some relevant information but have not yet come forward Six years is a long time to live with that knowledge.” More Claudia Lawrence stories Email YorkMix » 5-6 King's CourtShamblesYork YO1 7LD You can listen to YorkMix Radio using your DAB+ radio Click here to listen to YorkMix Radio » YorkMix is
