Woman charged in Christmas murder of mutilated man

-

She was booked on charges identical to those filed against George Malaperdas, 31, and Anthony Newton, 37, who were arrested in Molina’s death earlier this year.

Glass has prior conviction­s of conspiracy to commit robbery, larceny and credit or debit card fraud dating back to 2015, court records show.

The arrest report indicates a woman identified as Kelsea Wray was at the center of the love triangle. Both Newton and Molina were romantical­ly involved with Wray, the report indicates.

In an interview with police, Malaperdas told officers Wray “set up Molina and called him to the apartment where Newton was waiting.” Molina was at Wray’s apartment when Newton suddenly knocked on the door, came inside and began arguing with him, the report said.

As the confrontat­ion played out, Molina was knocked to the ground, bleeding from the forehead, when Malaperdas arrived and immediatel­y joined in, kicking Molina and yelling about Molina having sex with his sister, who also is Newton’s wife.

Malaperdas and Newton then tied up Molina, according to the report. Newton stood over Molina, put his foot against Molina’s throat and stepped down until Molina “was not moving anymore.”

His body was found early Dec. 28 by a homeless woman sleeping in the lot in the 2000 block of Dolly Lane, near East Lake Mead Boulevard and Marion Drive.

Only a torso and legs were recovered, but a DNA test proved the remains were those of Molina, family said. Contact Mike Shoro at mshoro@reviewjour­nal.com. Follow @mike_shoro on Twitter.
