Hearing today for personal trainer accused in murder

A West Warwick man accused of binding and killing a Cranston woman in the summer of 2006 is scheduled for a competency hearing today in Superior Court, Warwick.

Brian Mlyniec, 44, is also scheduled for a competency hearing and a probation violation hearing related to a 2001 case where he pleaded no contest to one count of second-degree sexual assault and one count of simple assault.

Prosecutors say when officers responded to an anonymous call on June 23, 2006, they found Kelly Ann Anderson in Mlyniec’s home, lying on her back, with injuries to her face, throat and neck. She was pronounced dead on the scene.

The state medical examiner concluded that Anderson died of strangulation, the police reported.

According to an affidavit filed at the time of his arrest, Mlyniec denied killing Anderson, but admitted to causing her injury during a consensual and violent sexual encounter.

In the earlier incident, an employee of a West Warwick pub accused Mlyniec, a personal trainer, of drugging her, binding her hands and feet, and sexually assaulting her inside a Kingstown motel.

He pleaded no contest and given a 13-year suspended sentence and ordered to enroll in a sex-offender program and substance-abuse counseling, according to court records.
