Leah Penny has been named as the Malden, MA., woman found unresponsive just before 10:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. Her boyfriend, Ryan Power, has been taken into custody.
Police discovered Penny, who was 31, deceased inside a Lebanon Street home by Malden police around 9:49 a.m. Wednesday.
Mother to 6 children, Penny commented the following on her Facebook page, “I’m devoted to my children and my amazing boyfriend.” The boyfriend would later be arrested over her murder. Penny’s final Facebook post came on June 12th, 2017:
Middlesex DA’s officer issued a warrant for the boyfriend, 32-year-old Ryan Power. They say he got into a fight with the victim on Tuesday. The warrant included charges of strangulation and assault and battery on a household or family member.
The DA’s office says the Power was found in Seabrook, New Hampshire later, where he was arrested. He has been charged with murder in connection with Penny’s death.
Authorities are investigating a possible motive and to determine an exact cause of death.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
