MALDEN, Mass. — A Malden man has been arrested after the discovery of a 31-year-old woman’s body inside a home Wednesday morning.
Police were called for an unresponsive female at a home on Lebanon Street just before 10 a.m. Wednesday, and when they arrived the discovered the unidentified woman’s body.
Police investigating the death said they believe Ryan Power, 32, of Malden, left the home Tuesday night following an altercation with the victim.
A warrant was issued for Power’s arrest on charges of strangulation and assault and battery on a household or family member. He was later taken into custody in New Hampshire and transported back to Massachusetts.
Some neighbors said police frequently visited the house where the woman's body was found.
“I want to say a week ago I saw police here. It seems like I always see police cars there,” Stanley Buonagurio said.
Power is set to appear in court Thursday morning for his arraignment.
