July 18 - Charges were filed today against Corey Posley-Wells, 27, of St. Paul for the July 7 stabbing murder of Irene Kunze, 90, of Hopkins.

Hopkins Police, with assistance from St. Paul Police, arrested Posley-Wells July 16 in St. Paul without incident. He was charged today with two-counts of first-degree murder.

I originally passed on posting this because the initial reports didn't look like a home invasion. I was wrong.
 He followed her to her apartment, followed her in and then knocked her to the floor in an attempt to rob her. He then took a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Kunze and cut her throat. Afterwards, stole a small amount of money from Kunze's billfold and looked in various drawers for money or valuables.

Entering and exiting your home are two of the times you are most vulnerable. Take car of yourselves.
