"Wonderful boyfriend", a Yale lab technician, arrested for murder of 24-year-old Annie Le


killer, annie leThe girlfriend and her mother told a detective that she had been in a sexual relationship with Clark and that he once forced her to have sex. The relationship continued after that incident, according to the Independent, a news Web site.

The young woman did not pursue the case, and no charges were filed. The Independent reported that Clark was warned in 2003 that police could pursue criminal charges against him if he contacted the girl.

SHOOT: It shows you that sometimes it is best to proceed with a case against someone, as not doing so allows - or may allow - a criminal habit to form, a crime to take place. Sadly, in this case, Le was murdered on her wedding day. Talk about ruining someone's life!
I predict that as economic circumstances worsen [rather than the much-vaunted hopes for a green shoots/recovery] workplace violence, and workplace based crimes will increase. Holding employees accountable for violations as the occur may slow down this trend.

Raymond Clark III, 24,  is driven away from an apartment building by police on

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A Yale lab technician was arrested Thursday at a hotel and charged with murdering a graduate student whose body was found stuffed in the wall of a research building on what would have been her wedding day.

Clark was under constant surveillance after he was released, and police spent Wednesday night and Thursday morning staking out the Super 8 hotel where Clark was staying.

Clark's job as an animal services technician at Yale put him in contact with Le, who worked for a Yale laboratory that conducted experiments on mice. She was part of a research team headed by her faculty adviser, Anton Bennett, that focused on enzyme research that could have implications in cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy. Members of the team have declined to comment on the case or their work.

Clark also reportedly had a troubling brush with the law in high school after being accused of harassing a girlfriend.
